I\'m inserting a very basic Google map into my page and the zoom control and streetmap icon are not visible, however if I place my mouse over where they should be I can zoom
Note that on the moment it's not even possible to show the full size zoom slider on touch devices (ipad etc). Here's the documentation:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/controls.html
google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.SMALL displays a mini-zoom control, consisting of only + and - buttons. This style is appropriate for small maps. On touch devices, this control displays as + and - buttons that are responsive to touch events.
google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.LARGE displays the standard zoom slider control. On touch devices, this control displays as + and - buttons that are responsive to touch events.
I'm thinking this might be a problem with the browser or the code within the page that you're embedding this map.
If I look at this simple hello world code, the maps controls show up fine. I geocoded this map to the same location as your sample, so its not anything to do with the location.
What happens when you use this sample?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sensor=true®ion=it">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(45.38686, 8.91927);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 17,
center: latlng,
panControl: true,
zoomControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.LARGE
},
scaleControl: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
</body>
</html>
That is definitely a CSS issue that you have with your code. Look for CSS that is applying to all images like:
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
Best solution to reach only for google map
.gmnoprint img {
max-width: none;
}
I had a very similar issue and it turned out in my case NOT to be a CSS issue. In my case, the Content-Security-Policy header on our site was blocking certain images from being rendered. In this case it was blocking the street view images (loaded from a *.ggpht.com uri) and the button icons which use inline svg data specified using the data: scheme. To fix this, I added the following to the Content-Security-Policy header:
img-src data: 'self' https://*.googleapis.com https://*.google.com https://*.gstatic.com https://*.ggpht.com
I had this problem, the fix was to include this CSS ...
.gmnoprint img { max-width: none; }
The CSS selector .gmnoprint img
gets to all images [img] on the Google Map [gm] controls that are non printing [noprint]. In my case max-width
had been set globally to 100%. Unsetting this fixed the issue.
