HTML5 Guide-7. Geolocation combined with Google Maps to develop a small application_html5 tutorial skills

Today we will develop a small application by combining HTML5 geolocation with Google Maps. Google maps API address: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/?hl=zh-CN.
To call google maps, you need to add js reference

The InitMap method is to call the google maps api to initialize the map. It needs to set the options object and use it when calling the map initialization.

Copy code

The code is as follows:

function InitMap() {
/ * Set all of the options for the map */
var options = {
zoom: 4,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(38.6201, -90.2003),
mapTypeId: google. maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.HORIZONTAL_BAR,
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER
},
panControl: true,
panControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_RIGHT
},
zoomControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps .ZoomControlStyle.LARGE,
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_CENTER
},
scaleControl: true,
scaleControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT
},
streetViewControl: true,
streetViewControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP
}
};
/* Create a new Map for the application */
map = new google.maps.Map($('#map')[0], options);
}

The getLocation and watchLocation methods obtain positioning information.

Copy code

The code is as follows:

function getLocation() {
/ * Check if the browser supports the W3C Geolocation API */
if (navigator.geolocation) {
browserSupport = true;
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(plotLocation, reportProblem, { timeout: 45000 });
} else {
reportProblem();
}
}
function watchLocation() {
/* Check if the browser supports the W3C Geolocation API */
if (navigator .geolocation) {
browserSupport = true;
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(plotLocation, reportProblem, { timeout: 45000 });
} else {
reportProblem();
}
}

After successfully obtaining the location information, call the plotLocation method to display the location on Google Maps.

Copy code

The code is as follows:

function plotLocation(position) {
attempts = 0;
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: point
});
marker.setMap(map);
map.setCenter(point);
map.setZoom(15);
}
