Need examples/assistance with Zoom to Selected from Drop Down Menu (Fusion Tables)

[Amelia Griza-Padilla]

Hello,

I am a beginner to Google Maps Javascript API (about 2 weeks now) and I need some assistance.  I have created two drop down menus linked to my fusion tables.  What I am trying to do is: upon clicking on a selection zoom to that polygon (or lat/long).   I've found some ideas, but have no idea how to incorporate this in my map. So far I've added "value="35.286125,-120.659409" to one of records but nothing happens.

 

select id="searchString" onChange="javascript:LocChange(this);">
            <option value="">--All Districts--</option>
            <option value="Achadjian, Katcho   33" value="35.286125,-120.659409">Achadjian, Katcho   33</option>

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

In changeMap2 (your linked map doesn't have "LocChange()") try:
function changeMap2(theValue) {
map.panTo(new google.maps.LatLng(theValue.split(','));
}
panTo: http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#Map
split: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t5az126b(v=VS.85).aspx

split returns an array (in this case, two strings with floating point
numbers), and LatLng requires two values. I don't know whether passing
an array of two values to LatLng will work. But you'll tell us, won't
you?

Hi Jeff,
Sorry I'm really a novice, what I tried was

function changeMap() {
var searchString =
document.getElementById('searchString').value.replace("'", "\\'");
if(searchString == "") {
layer.setQuery("SELECT 'geometry' FROM " + tableid);
return;
}
layer.setQuery("SELECT 'geometry' FROM " + tableid + " WHERE 'name'
= '" + searchString + "'");
}

{

function changeMap2(theValue) {
map.panTo(new google.maps.LatLng(theValue.split(','));

var searchString2 =
document.getElementById('searchString2').value.replace("'", "\\'");
if(searchString2 == "") {
layer2.setQuery("SELECT 'geometry' FROM " + tableid2);
return;
}
layer2.setQuery("SELECT 'geometry' FROM " + tableid2 + " WHERE
'name' = '" + searchString2 + "'");
}
}

Is that what you meant? If so, unfortunately it didn't work.

Any examples of this type of query or other suggestions?

Thx,
Amelia

Sounds like you want something like this:

(if you click on the "show" in the sidebar, or the zoomTo in the
infowindow, it zooms to the polygon)

But it won't necessarily be simple.

Check your javascript errors:
Error: geoXML3 is not defined
Source File: http://www.advocacy.ucla.edu/Maps/Assembly.html
Line: 138

You didn't put this file on your server:
http://www.advocacy.ucla.edu/Maps/geoxml3_kmlStr.js
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name
changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your patience, so I added the geoxml3_kmlStr.js file to my
server
http://www.advocacy.ucla.edu/Maps/geoxml3_kmlStr.js, but still nothing
happens? I downloaded it from http://code.google.com/p/geoxml3/

Am I missing anything else?

That doesn't look like the correct file. The version on my server is
modified from the archive.

You still have javascript errors:
(this one is probably because it is the wrong file)

FYI - To avoid the confusion in the future, I have put the
parseKmlString method in the mainline geoxml3 release.
