How to move the center position of google map

Question

I am creating a google map in a script with the following code -

var mapElement,
    parent,
    mapOptions,
    map,
    marker,
    latLong,
    openMarke         


        

Answer 1

forget all that crap this is what works if you want to reuse a google map marker or move a google map marker, or recenter a google map marker.

var lo = <yourval>;
var la = <yourval>;
var midpoint = {lat:la, lng:lo };
marker.setPosition(midpoint);

if you want to destroy a google maps marker or delete a google maps marker

marker.setMap(null);

Answer 2

You can use .setCenter() to move the center of the map

map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());

Update

Convert the LatLng with .fromLatLngToDivPixel() into a Point add an offset and convert it back into a LatLng with .fromDivPixelToLatLng()
