Geolocation confustion

[Kateryna Grynko]

Hi Jennifer,

You can use a marker - don't clean the address line. Simply pass the coordinates from Geolocation service to a marker, not directly to map. You can find the marker directly in the Google Maps component mapping.

Hi Katya. I did exactly that. The directions still function, however the "show my location" does not.

Hello! Please add on geolocation service Success event the following code:
prevar lat = data.coords.latitude, lon = data.coords.longitude;
var myOptions = {
zoom :8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map($('div[dsid="directionsMap"]').get(0), myOptions);
var sfLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: sfLatlng,
map: map
});/pre

Hi Katya,
The "show my location" now works. However, when I test and click "show my location" and then "get directions", I get this error:

Please fill in start address.

I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't very clear. I'd like two options for "get directions":

1. from my location

2. from defined address

On button "get directions" you retrieve source address from Input source :
prevar sourceAddress = Appery("inputSource").val();/pre and when you click on "show my location" this field isn't filled in. You need to get address using coordinates and fill in with this address inputSource. This should help https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

Is there a tutorial on reverse geolocating? I'm am so lost looking at all of those posts from the link you just sent me.
