I have a PhoneGap application that uses JQuery mobile to navigate between pages.
When I navigate from the main page to a page containing a Google map, the map shows only a single tile at a time in the top left corner like this:
What can be the reason for this ?
**
Source Code: The following script is in the head of my page
<script>
$(document).on("pageinit", "#stores", function () {
var centerLocation = new google.maps.LatLng('57.77828', '14.17200');
var myOptions = {
center: centerLocation,
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
callback: function () { alert('callback'); }
};
map_element = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
map = new google.maps.Map(map_element, myOptions);
var mapwidth = $(window).width();
var mapheight = $(window).height();
$("#map_canvas").height(mapheight);
$("#map_canvas").width(mapwidth);
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
});
</script>
My Page is like this
<!-- Home -->
<div data-role="page" id="home">
.
.
.
</div>
<div data-role="page" id="stores">
<div data-role="content" id="map_canvas"></div>
</div>
I navigate from home to the maps page like this:
<a href="#stores">Stores</a>
Update after applying Gajotres solution the tiles become like this
intro
Newer versions of jQuery Mobile and Google Maps v3 are a little bit special.
Your first problem was using pageinit event to the the calculation. At that point you cant get a correct page height and width. So instead use pageshow, you will find it working in my example.
Before you show the map you need to resize its content DIV. This is because content div will resize according to available inner elements. So we need to fix this manually, through javascript or CSS. I already have a answer on that question: google map not full screen after upgrade to jquerymobile 1.2 but I can also show you a working example:

Javascript
Here's a function used to calculate correct page height:
Another solution
There's also another solution to this problem that only uses CSS and it can be found HERE. I prefer this solution cause it don't require javascript to correctly fix the map height.
CSS:
One last thing
Also if page width is still incorrect just set it to 100%:
