I'm trying to update a Google Map (API V3) with markers using my friends locations stored in a database. I want to refresh the map every minute or so... kind of like google latitude which shows where yours friends are on the map.
Here is SOME of my Javascript: Please note that all i need to do is get a list of locations from the database, which in itself isnt hard... I just dont know how to update the javascript marker object with the Latitude and Longitude data of each entry every minute.
var map;
var markersArray = [];
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
}
function addM开发者_运维百科arker(location) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
markersArray.push(marker);
}
function addMarkerExisting(marker) {
markersArray.push(marker);
}
// Removes the overlays from the map, but keeps them in the array
function clearOverlays() {
if (markersArray) {
for (i in markersArray) {
marker.infowindow.close();
markersArray[i].setMap(null);
}
}
}
My propose is to use something like this:
function initialize() {
...
setInterval("updateMarkers()",60000); //refresh every minute
}
and inside function updateMarkers() you have to clear markers from map and markers array and load&insert them again...
