I was wondering if it is possible that Google has a feature to view different markers on different zoom levels.
For example, on zoom level 1, I want one marker over Chin
The real reason why my program was failing was because of the Marker Manager, which doesn't work with my Markers with Labels.
There was actually a much simpler approach, however, to fulfill my needs.
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
getMarkers();
google.maps.event.addListener(map,'zoom_changed',function () {
if (map.getZoom() >= 3) showMarkers();
if (map.getZoom() <= 2) eraseMarkers();
});
}
function eraseMarkers() {
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
marker[i].setVisible(false);
}
}
function showMarkers() {
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
marker[i].setVisible(true);
}
}
function getMarkers() {
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
marker[i] = new MarkerWithLabel({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
draggable: false,
map: map,
labelContent: locations[i][3],
labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(30, 0),
labelClass: "labels", // the CSS class for the label
labelStyle: {opacity: 0.75}
});
}
eraseMarkers();
}
