I am creating a website that uses the geolocation code. Suppose that mapCanvas is also loaded after the user clicks on “Finde Me!”. click it and set the center of the map based on the user's location. It works fine with Firefox, Chrome, Safari, it is tested on regular PCs and iPhone, the only device does not work with it is any Android mobile phone. here is the code:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=3&key=YourKey"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var iconBlue = new GIcon();
iconBlue.image = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_blue.png';
iconBlue.shadow = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png';
iconBlue.iconSize = new GSize(17, 25);
iconBlue.shadowSize = new GSize(1, 1);
iconBlue.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconBlue.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var iconRed = new GIcon();
iconRed.image = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png';
iconRed.shadow = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png';
iconRed.iconSize = new GSize(17, 25);
iconRed.shadowSize = new GSize(1, 1);
iconRed.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconRed.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var customIcons = [];
customIcons["restaurant"] = iconBlue;
customIcons["bar"] = iconRed;
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(50.061795,19.936924), 16);
GDownloadUrl("Your_xml.php", function(data) {
var xml = GXml.parse(data);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = createMarker(point, name, address, type);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
});
}
}
function createMarker(point, name, address, type) {
var marker = new GMarker(point, customIcons[type]);
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
}
function findLoc(){
if (!navigator.geolocation) {
alert('Sorry, your browser does not support Geo Services');
}
else {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showMap);
}
}
function showMap(position){
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var lon = position.coords.longitude;
var myPoint = new GLatLng(lat, lon);
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(myPoint, 15);
GDownloadUrl("Your_xml.php", function(data) {
var xml = GXml.parse(data);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = createMarker(point, name, address, type);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
});
function createMarker(point, name, address, type) {
var marker = new GMarker(point, customIcons[type]);
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
}
}
I could not find a solution to make it work. PS There are no errors or statements giving any hint, which makes it more understandable. The device has received GPS-resolution. request for help I tried to find out for 2 weeks
