Preamble
I'm using Angular Google Maps to indicate the location of different buildings across a campus. My initilization goes as follows:
$scope.map = {
control: {},
center:
{
latitude: $scope.Item.Latitude,
longitude: $scope.Item.Longitude
},
zoom: 16,
options: {
streetViewControl: true,
maxZoom: 20,
minZoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID
},
showTraffic: true,
showBicycling: true,
events: {
blacklist: ['drag', 'dragend', 'dragstart', 'center_changed']
}
};
That works flawlessly for the following visualization:
However, I just noticed that there is 3D data available for the region, and I would like to have it renderized as such:
Question
Is it possible, via Angular Google Maps, to configure my initialization in such a way as to show the map as indicated?
Bonus Question
...would it be possible to programatically have the 'camera' spin around the marker (or the center)?
This is the Map link for the reference images:
https://www.google.com/maps/#40.9570608,-76.8816097,179a,20y,180h,41.69t/data=!3m1!1e3
The best you can get with the Google Maps Javascript API is the 45° imagery.
Not like the 3D map visualization, 45° imagery only has:
1) the 45° tile...
2) 4 angels (0, 90, 180, 270)
3) only has SATELLITE mode. (Road names and other maps elements isn't shown even the maps is in HYBRID)
4) it is not available everywhere over the globe. (for example, 40.9570608,-76.8816097)
Look at this example for more information.

I'm working on a mapbox app and I need to make a dynamic URL to reflect mapbox info like lat, long and zoom level.
ex: /?city=London&zoom=1&lat=30&lng=140. On page load map should be centred and zoomed accordingly. How to read/write page URL?
Just activate the hash : true in the Map initial settings
var map = new mapboxgl.Map({
container: 'map',
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/outdoors-v11',
center: [128, 47],
zoom: 16.5,
pitch: 60,
hash: true // just add this
});
It’s not the same param names but you’ll have the same information
The Azure maps blog states Grayscale maps: A dark-gray map style is for users who want to have a darker scale representation of a map.
How can you enable this in the Javascript implementation?
see the code sample at https://codepen.io/azuremaps/pen/WKOQRq. We will have
documentation up soon.
style: "grayscale_dark"
You can set style: "grayscale_dark" when you define the map.
var map = new atlas.Map("map", {
center: mapCenterPosition,
zoom: 15,
style: "grayscale_dark"
});
You can also just create a control on the map that allows you to switch between different modes:
map.addControl(new atlas.control.StyleControl(), { position: "top-right" });
I have two types of map tiles, and I want to be able to switch between them using layers with a custom html control. Both will have the same tilesize and the other options that I have set. The only difference is that one is located in normal map folder and the other in gridmap folder.
This is the code that I use to display one map:
var map = L.map('map', {
maxZoom: mapMaxZoom,
minZoom: mapMinZoom,
zoomControl: false,
crs: L.CRS.MySimple
}).setView([0, 0], 2);
L.tileLayer('normalmap/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg', {
minZoom: mapMinZoom,
maxZoom: mapMaxZoom,
tileSize: 268,
noWrap: true,
tms: false,
continuousWorld: true
}).addTo(map);
I tried to follow the leaflet example: http://leafletjs.com/examples/layers-control.html
But no luck.
Can someone explain to me how to add 2 maps with a custom control?
Keep a reference to both your tile layers and add/remove them as appropiate:
var map = L.map(...);
var tilelayer1 = L.tileLayer('map1/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg', { ... });
var tilelayer2 = L.tileLayer('map2/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg', { ... });
tilelayer1.addTo(map);
document.getElementById('switch-layers').addEventHandler('click', function(ev){
if (map.hasLayer(tilelayer1)) {
map.addLayer(tilelayer2);
map.removeLayer(tilelayer1);
} else {
map.addLayer(tilelayer1);
map.removeLayer(tilelayer2);
}
})
Keep in mind that you can create layers and not add them to the map right away.
Kind of an odd question/hard to find an answer. I'm relatively new to using angularjs and have a problem i'm confused about.
I've set up a google map using http://angular-ui.github.io/angular-google-maps/#!/ and have an issue.
So i have a $scope.homeBase where i am setting a lat & long for the owners 'Home Base', i want to use that location to set the on load map center, & a pin to show the location. So in my mind cool, set the one var and use it in both locations. Wrong.
So this works on load, but every time i pan the map, i guess it re-sets the map center location, which in turn binds to the map marker and sends the marker to the middle of the screen, on every pan.
Is there anyway to have the two not bound? or have separate vars? without them bound?
i thought a simple 'var homebase' would remove binding and not update the var. instead of using scope but it still binds?
This perhaps is a newb question but i appreciate any pointing in proper direction.
Thanks again
here's my code.
// uiGmapGoogleMapApi is a promise, The "then" callback function provides a maps object.
uiGmapGoogleMapApi.then(function() {
// Setting homebase coords, these will come from firebase
$scope.homeBase = { latitude: -34.18405, longitude: 150.71319 };
// Set default map.
$scope.map = {
center: $scope.homeBase,
pan: true,
zoom: 14,
events: {
click: function(){
}
}
};
// Set homebase marker.
$scope.homebaseMarker = {
id: 0,
coords: $scope.homeBase,
options: { draggable: false },
};
});
I was able to set the center on page load via
angular.copy(var)
I am trying to use the angular google maps(http://angular-ui.github.io/angular-google-maps/) directive in my application, so converting my code to work with that directive and stuck up in that process to apply custom shape to the markers.
Anybody who is familiar with angular google maps can help me to resolve this issue, please check the below mentioned code written in plain google maps library and let me know how to make this code working with the angular google maps directive.
new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
icon: {
url: 'path/to/icon',
origin:new google.maps.Point(0,0),
anchor:new google.maps.Point(3,4)
},
shape: {
coords:[0, 6, 7, 0, 16, 0, 23, 6, 12, 12],
type:"poly"
}
});
Yeah, I found the solution here, we need to set that as an attribute to OPTIONS object as mentioned below:
markers.push({
latitude: site.latitude,
longitude: site.longitude,
id: 1,
icon: {
url: 'path/to/icon',
origin: origin,
anchor: anchor
},
options: {
shape: {
coords: phaseMarker.coords,
type: "poly"
}
}
});
Note: I tried this even before posting this question, but that didn't worked well due to duplicate ID attribute for markers, so make sure we have unique ID for each marker if we have a set of markers in our map.
