Google maps API multiple markers

Question

i am using following code to show google map and also create a marker on the map. Its working well. I just need to put multiple markers on the same map.

Answer 1

This is a basic question and several examples can be found in the web. You basically need an array to hold the various markers lat lng's. Then use a loop to place these latlng's on the map just like you do with one marker.

var berlin = new google.maps.LatLng(52.520816, 13.410186);
var neighborhoods = [
new google.maps.LatLng(52.511467, 13.447179),
new google.maps.LatLng(52.549061, 13.422975),
new google.maps.LatLng(52.497622, 13.396110),
new google.maps.LatLng(52.517683, 13.394393)
];
var markers = [];
var map;

function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: berlin
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
mapOptions);
drop();
}

function drop() {
 for (var i = 0; i < neighborhoods.length; i++) 
  {
    markers.push(new google.maps.Marker({
    position: neighborhoods[i],
    map: map,
    }));
  }
}
