Movable Marker in Mapstraction using Google Maps v3

Question

I am trying to place a marker that can be moved (movable marker) using Mapstraction Google Maps v3. But I cannot find the right settings.

I can place a static marker. But cannot find the configuration for a movable marker. Any one has any thoughts on this?

Cheers, RD

Answer 1

(I assume you are using version 3.9 of the API)

Have you tried setting draggable to true in the constructor?

(Which takes):

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MarkerOptions

You could also look a bit further into the mouse event classes, the marker class has a SetPosition method, and mouse event has a OnMouseOver event or something to that degree and a OnMouseClick event, or something like that.

Now I have never worked with this API before and I dont do to much Javascript but il try to make some pseudo code.

Option A:

var default = new google.maps.MarkerOptions;
//Other setting's go here.//
default.draggable = true;
//For fun.//
default.raiseOnDrag = true;
//Example object.//
var marker = new google.maps.Marker( default );

I assume that this may make the object draggable.

Option B:

/*This function will check if we are going to move our marker and then do it if
the conditions are right.*/
function CheckMoveMarker( var marker )
{
   //Make a new mouse event.//
   mouseStuff = new google.maps.SomePseudoMouseEvent();

   //In the real API this was an event but I dident want to write one... :-P//
   if( mouseStuff.isOver( marker.getRect() ) == true ) {

      //You may want to pop a thread here.//
      while ( mouseStuff.mouseClicked() == true ) {

         /*You may need some clever way to get the position, perhaps through
         the "map" class: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation
         /javascript/reference#Map .*/

         marker.setPosition( mouseStuff.x, mouseStuff.y );
      }
   }

   //Return the changes to our marker.//
   return marker;
}


//Somewhere in your code.//
myMarker = CheckMoveMarker( myMarker );
