Update per comment below: Doesn't work after July 2018.
This seems needlessly complicated. Here's an example "nearby events" map. It will take City, State
s, convert them to latLng
coords, and put markers on a map:
// Nearby Events with Google Maps
window.nearbyEventsMap = () => {
const centerOfUS = {
lat: 37.09024,
lng: -95.712891
}
// Create a map object and specify the DOM element for display.
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.querySelector('#nearby_events_map'), {
center: centerOfUS,
scrollwheel: false,
zoom: 4
})
// Create a marker and set its position.
const geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder()
// Filter out duplicate cityStates
let cityStates = {}
document.querySelectorAll('.nearby_event_city_state').forEach(event => {
cityStates[event] = event.innerText
})
// `cityState` is in the format of "City, State". It's not picky about state being a word or the abbreviation.
for (const cityState in cityStates) {
const location = cityStates[cityState]
geocoder.geocode({
address: location
}, function (results, status) {
if (status === 'OK') {
const result = results[0].geometry.location
const lat = result.lat()
const lng = result.lng()
const latLng = {
lat,
lng
}
return new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: latLng
})
}
})
}
}
