retrive clicked marker info?

[Thoern]

I have a array with markers but how do I get what index the clicked
marker have?
of one click on one of the markers in the map.

Hard to say without a link to your map.
You could use function closure or add a property to the marker.

Its really like a basic tutorial example, storing the markers in a
locations array, no funny buissness to it.

Is there some call or so in the API to check which index is selected
once clicking a marker?

There is no API call to do that. You can store that information as a
property of the marker as I suggested in my original answer:

marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][2], locations[i][3]),
map: map });
marker.myMarkerIndex = i;
...

The best answer to your question will depend on _why_ you want that
information and what you need it for.

Did you resolve your issue? It (now) looks like you are using a
function closure (good choice!).

Anyhow I thought of a different approach, googlemaps does only render
the markers in current mapwindow right? can you fetch those array ids
somehow ? or the coordinates of the markers?


I would like to get the markers id for two purposes. (both ways)

1. to do some extra stuff (maby open a certain kml file) based on the
map clicked markers id.
2 have the marker "highligted" when doing a seach on one of the
markers so you can see wich one you picked in select/option list.

You can reference the clicked marker with 'this':

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', markerListener);

function markerListener() {

  alert(this.getPosition());

  // this.setIcon(...

}

Thanks, there it was :-)

Any Ideas to check which markers in current mapview?

[Chris Broadfoot]

No, you'll need to store that yourself. Trivial to do.

Ok, I am kind of stuck here, it seems markers have a method
getVisible() that sounds usable for this purpose, anyhow tried to feed
it som indexes from the marker array in 'bounds_changed' event

Had hoped to get info like:
1 true
2 false
3 false

sombody please point me in the right direction
cant find any info about how to use the marker.getVisible();
or is that for all the markers, not for one instance of the marker ie
maker(i).getVisible();

Solved..
