Rectangle

[James Carroll]

Hi Folk

I am an absolute beginner. My needs are very simple. I just want to open a google map and draw a rectangle on it.
In trying to learn this I have been able to open the map, plot a couple of markers and add a polygon but the rectangle simply eludes me!!

The map is a small area

    var mylatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(54.716952, -5.809269);
    var myOptions = {
      zoom: 10,
      center: mylatlng,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
    };

I then want to mark the rectangle bounded by these latlongs (54.68808, -5.88342) (54.68808, -5.88342)
I don't need it to be user adjustable, clickable or anything else.

Please help

James

You need to specify a LatLngBounds object in the rectangle options.

Your two bounds are the same resulting in a very small rectangle!
