Remove marker

[Andrewc]

I want the user to select their location..

This sample from Google is perfect for my use:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/examples/event-arguments.html

Their can only be 1 location selected, so when a users clicks for a
second time on the map the previous marker should be removed.

How would I get the Lat and long coordinates?

marker.get_position() ?

Hi there,

I am also looking for a solution to remove markers, as the function
set_map(null) as describe in de documents does not seem to work.

"To remove a marker, call the set_map() method passing null as the
argument."

http://code.google.com/intl/nl/apis/maps/documentation/v3/overlays.html

This does not work for me.

<script>
if (street_marker) {
street_marker.set_map(null);
}
</script>

The marker will remain on the map, and the old V2 function does not
work anymore.

Anyone got an idea how to remove markers in V3 ?

In the future I will publish a library.

Seems it did work, however, the info window wasn't automaticly closed
by removing the marker.

Hi,

use global "infowindow" variable and execute the close() method from InfoWindow.

Look at my little lib sample:

Marker and infowindow are different objects. If you have just one
infowindow instance, you can call myInfoWindow.close(). If you create
many InfoWindow instances you have to push them in an array. So you
can close them by a similar loop than you use for clearing markers.

I have also tried a brute method for clearing individual map panes.

function clearOverlays(){
var pane = document.getElementById("pane_1");
while(pane && pane.firstChild){
pane.removeChild(pane.firstChild);
}
}

It works but I would not recommend using it. Just experimenting.
