so close....I owe you Ben!

the form isn't taking new coordinates unless i move the marker. basically, i'm using a query pull the persons address...and have the form use the lat/lon from that as if they had dragged the marker....versus using the forms initial values. does that make sense?

here's my url:
http://66.155.125.63/maps_getcoordinates4.asp?address=atlanta, ga



here's the script:




if (GBrowserIsCompatible())
{
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

if ("" == "" || "" == "")
{



var address = "<%=request.querystring("address")%>";

var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

geocoder.getLatLng(address,
function(point) {
if (!point) {
alert(address + " not found");
}
else {
// set centre of map and add marker to centre of map and make it draggable
map.setCenter(point, 12);
var marker = new GMarker(point, {draggable: true});
map.addOverlay(marker);

// add listener to marker
GEvent.addListener(marker, "dragend", function() {
var point = marker.getPoint();
map.panTo(point);
document.getElementById("latitude").value = point.lat();
document.getElementById("longitude").value = point.lng();
});
}
});
}

else
{
var centrePoint = new GLatLng('34.051', '-84.071');
map.setCenter(centrePoint, 16);
document.getElementById("latitude").value = point.lat();
document.getElementById("longitude").value = point.lng();


var marker = new GMarker(centrePoint, {draggable: true});
map.addOverlay(marker);

GEvent.addListener(marker, "dragend", function() {
var point = marker.getPoint();
map.panTo(point);
document.getElementById("latitude").value = point.lat();
document.getElementById("longitude").value = point.lng();
});
}
}

Wondering when this module is available. Would be an interesting asset to my site.

I can't use your stupid maps.

I am taking part in the "Boyne Riders" photographic Rally 2009. Thay have given a list of places with GP co-ordinates. I was hoping to use your site to locate positions and then mark them into my OSI Road Atlas which does not have co-ordinated. However I'm having problems. Example Dunlavin Courthouse is one location given as Nat GRid 87192 01689 or N 53 03.541 W6 42.017. When I position The Orange marker as close to these co-ordinates as possible, it shows me I'm in Wicklow Gap and Dunlavin is way off to the left! Am I doing something wrong or should I expect to be positioned over Dunlavin?
Thanks
Dave

Thank you for this very useful app. It would very nice for mariners to have the coordinates in degree, minutes, seconds. I found this page which does the conversion: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html
but it would be nice not to have to do this extra step.
Thanks again.

Hi dude please give me the source.... this is obsolutte they i need ...
please please

I want place the marker at original position when dragging is completed. Please help in this

hi could u mail me the script that takes latitude and longitude as input to show maps

good job friends

Hi,

I am able to place the marker on the map on any particular location(with location name as input or latitude and longitude as input).
But now i want to place the markers on the hospitals, banks etc (areas of interest) which are near to the particular input location.
How can I do this using javascript and google maps.

Thanks a lot for sharing, I was looking for it long time a go !

Hi, Ben: good work!! I need a help with the code to apply this concept but not with draggable marker. I need the visitor can make zoom a move controls to the desired place and make click to update position. Because when they use dragable markers go to the desired place and lost the dragable marker in the process of making zoom. Thanks a lot

hi ben,
This code seems really intersting. but when i paste it in visual studio, the
<input class="required" type="text" name="latitude" id="latitude" value="53.34870686020199" />
Longitude: <input class="required" type="text" name="longitude" id="longitude" value="-6.267356872558594" />

that input class="required" part gives an error telling no css class is defined.

Can you please help me out?
we should put this on the body of the page right?

Thank you
