Hi all,
On my website I have a map that pinpoints each user's approximate
location. I base it off a value called $location which is just a
combination of $city, $state, and $country. I don't want to get more
specific than that because I don't want too much information out there
publicly.
Question is, I have SEVERAL markers that have the exactly same lat/
lng. For example, a lot of my users are stationed at Vance AFB, OK
(lat="36.343071" lng="-97.907806").
I've read into marker clusters, but I'd rather not use something like
that. I like the idea of having TONS of markers in a small space...
only clickable when you get down to a basic level (clicking opens up
an info window with user's data).
Is there a way to offset that lat/lng by just a bit? Or does anyone
have any suggestions? Am I stupid for not wanting to use marker
clusterers?
Thanks for your help!!!
In case you're curious, here's my code.... (Also having an issue with
the info window... the very last line of text is smushed against the
bottom boundary of the info window... on the info window... make
sense?.... but that's not hte reason I'm here).
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(47.614495, -122.341861), 2);
map.enableScrollWheelZoom();
GDownloadUrl("world_xml.php", function(data) {
var xml = GXml.parse(data);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var first_name = markers[i].getAttribute("first_name");
var last_name = markers[i].getAttribute("last_name");
var email = markers[i].getAttribute("email");
var affiliation = markers[i].getAttribute("affiliation");
var status = markers[i].getAttribute("status");
var service = markers[i].getAttribute("service");
var rank = markers[i].getAttribute("rank");
var specialty = markers[i].getAttribute("specialty");
var city = markers[i].getAttribute("city");
var state = markers[i].getAttribute("state");
var country = markers[i].getAttribute("country");
var point = new
GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = createMarker(point, rank, first_name, last_name,
email,
affiliation, status, service, specialty, city, state, country);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
});
}
}
function createMarker(point, rank, first_name, last_name, email,
affiliation, status, service, specialty, city, state, country) {
var marker = new GMarker(point);
var html = "<b>" + rank + " " + first_name + " " + last_name + "</b>
<br/>" + service + ", " + status + "</b> <br/>" + specialty + "</b>
<br/>" + affiliation + "</b> <br/>" + city + ", " + state + " " +
country + "</b> <br/>" + email + "</b> <br/>" + " ";
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
}
