Google Maps - making the map display at the requested longitude and latitude

[Andy Parker]

Hi,
I've been trying to get my Geolocation app working for some time now, trying all of the different approaches to get the map to show the longitude and latitude position I give it, but it just does not move.

My code is simple, I have the Geoservice being called every 5 seconds, this service updates 2 labels on the display, "mylatitude" and "mylongitude".

the code below is supposed to run when I click a button, it does run (as I have an alert to pop up) but the map does not change to show my location, can someone help me please?

var map = Appery('map');
map.options['latitude'] = Appery('mylatitude').text();
map.options['longitude'] = Appery('mylongitude').text();
map.refresh();

Did you test that these statements:

code
Appery('mylatitude').text();
Appery('mylongitude').text();
/code

return the correct data?

[Andy Parker]

yes, I used the alert function to display them, and received the expected results.

alert(Appery('mylatitude').text());
alert(Appery('mylongitude').text());

also add this:
code
map.options['address'] = "&quot
/code

[Andy Parker]

that did it!

You sir, are a legend, many thanks.

Hi, i am absolutely new to appery and now i found this thread what seems to in theory help me a bit about what i want to archive.

my question: where do i add this code?
do i put it directly inside my html at the "web_resources/files/test.html" ?

thanks in advance for your time and support!

Hi Carlos,

For HTML code you can you Panel component with type=html.
JavaScript code can be added in 'Run JavaScript' actions (see Events panel).
You can also add CSS and JavaScript code in assets (see Create new menu).

The code discussed here fires on button click event.
