Hi, I am making a map in which I want to hide or to show markers when some checkboxes are checked or not. The data are loaded from a database with the use of an xml file. I didn't find something how to do this (show/hide) for v3, so I decided to try something by myself. It works, but I am not satisfied by the way it is coded and I would also like to work better and I will explain what I mean.
Every time that I click a checkbox I have an onclick call to the initialize() function. Due to this if I have zoomed in the map and click a checkbox it returns the map with the right data but of course in the initial zoom. Now about the code: jQuery.get("data.xml", {}, function(data) { jQuery(data).find("marker").each(function() { var marker = jQuery(this); var putIt = false; //checkboxes var cat_paper = document.getElementById("cat-paper").checked; var cat_glass = document.getElementById("cat-glass").checked; var cat_plastic = document.getElementById("cat-plastic").checked; var cat_aluminium = document.getElementById("cat- aluminium").checked; var cat_general = document.getElementById("cat-general").checked; var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(marker.attr("lat")), parseFloat(marker.attr("lng"))); if(cat_paper && marker.attr("paper") == "1"){ putIt = true; } if(cat_glass && marker.attr("glass") == "1"){ putIt = true; } if(cat_plastic && marker.attr("plastic") == "1"){ putIt = true; } if(cat_aluminium && marker.attr("aluminium") == "1"){ putIt = true; } if(cat_general && marker.attr("packet") == "1"){ putIt = true; } if(putIt){ var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: latlng, map: map}); } }); The above code works but it seems to me a bit ugly... Could you propose me something? Also about the first question is there a way to keep the current zoom? I would appreciate even negative answers. Sometimes it saves you a lot of time to know that there is no solution for a problem.
