tiz a thing of beauty. Thanks a lot Hamish, much appreciated.
I have one more nice-to-have. I have added code to make a draggable marker,
and what I really want is to have the marker return its lat and lng on drop.
I can see in the gmaps docs that addListener is the way to go, but I dont
know how to implement that with jmap getting in the way.
Can you help me once more?
(function($){
//$.fn.jMap.defaults.mapType = "sat";
$('#map').jmap({language:"en",mapCenter:[-25.274398,133.775136
],mapZoom:4});
$('#map').createMarkerManager();
$('#map').createGeoCache();
$('#addressSearch').click(function(){
if (typeof $.jmap.GClientGeocoder == 'undefined') {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder;
} else {
var geocoder = $.jmap.GClientGeocoder;
}
geocoder.getLatLng($('#fromAddress').val() + ', australia',
function(point){
if (!point){
// Address is not found, throw an error
alert('Address not found');
}else{
$.jmap.GMap2.setCenter(point,17);
$('#addresslat').val(point.y)
$('#addresslng').val(point.x)
// Add marker to map
var marker = $('#map').addMarker({pointLat:
point.y,pointLng:point.x,isDraggable:true});
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
