Centering Map

Centering Map

I have a database with several historical sites, all with their Latitude and Longitude. The user searches for his site and clicks on it. I then search the database for all the other sites within 5 miles. I load a page showing all of the sites on the GoogleMap, however it is centred on the first site in the Dataset. How do I centre the map on the site that the user clicked?

Centering Maps

Thank you Jason, but that applies to Addresses. Many of the these historical sites have no addresses.

Anyway, I figured it out from the Google Maps sites and I did the following ant it seems to work.

In wagmp_map_1.php, find the following line at the end of the script

<?php } while ($row_DetailRS1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($DetailRS1)); ?>

Type in the following code after the above line

map.setZoom(12);
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(52.1188, -8.29158),12);

The 12 is the zoom level. I have to dynamically change the Lat and Lng yet, put the above does the trick for my testing.

Showing Bubble

Hi Jason

After I center the map on the desired location, the bubble shown still belongs to the first site in the Recordset, how can I open the bubble for a specific site. I have tried the following and it does not work

map.setZoom(12);
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(52.1188, -8.29158),12);
GEvent.trigger(map,'click',null,new GLatLng(52.1188, -8.29158));

Hi Jason

The test site is at sitelist.php

Click on 9 (Ballynoe Corrin) and again on the next page, I then show the map, with Ballynoe centered, but the bubble belongs to Rathcormack

Thank you
