Google maps search box outside map

Question

I\'m playing with the Google Maps API, and I\'ve inserted a search-form with autocomplete. The problem is that the input-box is stuck into the map. I can\'t display it outside t

Answer 1

Basically if I understand it well, you want to have an input with autocomplete that update the Google maps. But you want it outside the map

This line, is what bind your input to the map. You don't need it

map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(input);

Then you just remove the left: 1000px from your input and that's it.
