Linking into Google Maps
Sunday, May 18th, 2008The GMarker, GEvent, GInfoWindow and related classes in the Google Maps API allow you to easily create markers on a map which are interactive and which provide valuable information to users. Often it is convenient to extend such interaction beyond the actual map itself, allowing other elements in the web application to alter markers on the map, retrieve and show information, and so on. In this tech note, I provide a simple example of this, demonstrating how to make simple HTML links trigger Google Maps markers and display information.
