Accessing Map from other buttons

[Bradken Webmaster]

Could someone help point  me in the right direction.  I've tried googling an answer and still can't find anything.

 

I have 4 or 5 buttons/links just on my webpage that needs to zoom the map in to a marker and display a pop up and I just can't work out how to do it.

 

I have a number of markers which when clicked bring up a popup and I can have them interact with the rest of the website, I just can't get the rest of the site to interact with the map.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Regards

Byron

At the most basic level, make sure you store the created 'Map' object
in a global variable - then your other functions can do things with
it....

var map ;

function initialize() {
....
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
....
}

function recentermap() {
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644));
}

recentermap can then be called from whereever - your real function
will do something more exciting tho!

... if still stuck suggest posting a link to your map, so can give
more specific advice.

You my good sir are a campion.  That is exactly the starting point I needed.
