How to make right menu(of maps.google.com) using google maps api v3?

[Sankar T]

Dear All,

Could anyone help me on how to create the default right click menu (of http://maps.google.com) with "directions from here", "directions to here", "Zoom in", etc... in our application using google maps api v3?

Thanks In Advance

You can translate this to v3

http://gmaps-utility-library-dev.googlecode.com/svn/tags/contextmenucontrol/1.0/

It's surely not done speedy and quick but it's doable.

Hmm, I can't see any menu on right click ...

[pi5701]

just bind the 'LatLng/Pixel Coordinate Custom Control' to google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'rightclick', function(mEvent) {};

Except in Firefox they disable the option to allow javascript to
create a contextmenu...by default...making contextmenus just about
useless.
So any user using FF won't see your menu unless they manually go and
allow that in the settings.

Options -> Content -> Allow Javascript (Advanced) -> Allow Scripts to:
[check] Disable or replace context menus

i can see the contextmenu in IE8, firefox3.6, chrome8 and opera10 without touching any of the browsers javascriptsettings.

[Sankar T]

Even I can see the it in FireFox 3.0.5 too along with other browsers.
But only the strange thing is if I have multiple map objects Firefox is throwing error saying that 'map object is null'.

Cheers

What might your multiple map objects be called ... map1, map2 ?

[Sankar Talam]

I am using TabContainer with 5 tabs & each tab will be loaded with google map for different oprations.
If I use single map object, whenever if I perform any operation in one tab the map will loaded with that perticular operation data in other tabs too, So am using different map objects (like initMap, poiMap, etc...which were similar to map1, map2...).
Some how this right click menu operations (Zoom in, Zoom out, Directions from here, etc...) are not detecting those map objects in Firefox but is working fine in IE8.(right now am performing the map operations on one map object and I will extend to others once if this works fine).

[pi5701]

you hvae to change the global variable for map then.
try this for your initMap:

[Sankar Talam]

Pi,
I have declared all the map objects globally.
whenever if I go to any tab am initializing the map object for first time & 2nd time onwards am using that map object for the operations in that tab.

the link you pasted is not working. could you please check it once?

Thanks

Dear CroNiX,

Yes the context menus were not working in Firefox 3.6.13.

will there be any other way to overcome this issue without manually
changing the firefox settings?

Thanks

I don't think so. I'm sure that Google found a way at their official
maps page to bypass this settings if it would be possible.

The Firefox guys seems to have changed their policy in this regard. In
my eyes the new policy is right: It shouln'd be possible to change the
usual and default context menu when the user doesn't agree.
