With a google map, how do I move a marker? I don't want a new one, I just want to reposition it to a determined latitude and longitude. I would also like the map to center on this marker. I've been pouring through the forums and API docs and can't find anything on this.

1) Don't use marker in visual component.
2) Add marker on map with js. (you can find an example here http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/addin...)
when you add marker save created object e.g. in global variable.
3) Move marker with setPosition method:
premarkerVar.setPosition(new google.maps.LatLng( 40, 20 ));/pre

What is the best way to save the created object in a global variable? A code example would be really nice.

Say, on page load, it creates the object and saves it.

I can create the object without issue, but trying to save it and access/modify it later with the setPosition function is where I'm lost.

Thanks,
Garrett

Please specify what exactly is not clear with setPosition?

I was able to figure it out from one of your other posts.

I used this when I created the object...
code
window["makerVar"] = new google.maps.Marker({.....
/code

And this to recall the object...
code
window["makerVar"].setPosition(...
/code

Did you manage with it? Do you need our help?

I got it. Thanks!
