Google maps api v3: top and left marker pixel position

Question

I want to get the top and left marker position (in pixels) in google map api v3. How can this be done? I know there are some tips for using fromLatLngToDivPixel() , but can I know how this works? Example?

Answer 1

Do you mean the coordinates in pixels inside the div? Take a look at http://qfox.nl/notes/116

 overlay = new google.maps.OverlayView(); overlay.draw = function() {}; overlay.setMap(map); var point = overlay.getProjection().fromLatLngToContainerPixel(latLng); 

or

 var point = overlay.getProjection().fromLatLngToDivPixel(latLng); 

Ugly. Much easier in v2, where these methods were directly methods of the GMap2 object. Another google api v3 error!

Answer 2

If you encounter an undefined overlay problem, this is because the object is created after the idle map.

Better call it in the event listener, the full explanation is here fooobar.com/questions/744818 / ...
