  1. POGoogle Maps: Setting a new centre point using a menu
    text
    copied!<p>I'm pretty new to Google Maps. What I'm trying to do is set up a map which will center to points when an HTML menu is clicked.</p> <p>Am I right in saying I don't need an event listener if the control is outside the map?</p> <p>This is my code from the head section: ` function init() { var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(53.53562,-1.05642); var myOptions = { zoom: 8, center: myLatlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP } //draw the map var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);</p> <pre><code> //set up the marker var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: myLatlng, map: map, }); } function resetMap(lat,long) { var latlong = lat+","+long; var newPos = new google.maps.LatLng(latlong)({ setCenter: latlong, map: map, zoom:15, }) //add a marker var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: myLatlng, map: map, title:"New marker", }) } &lt;/script&gt;` </code></pre> <p>and the HTML goes like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;body onLoad="init()"&gt; &lt;div id="selecter"&gt; &lt;select&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.39433,-1.25754);"&gt;Thurcroft&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.41615,-1.27833);"&gt;Wickersley&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.47929,-1.14828);"&gt;M18/A1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.47802,-1.06633);"&gt;Rossington&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.53562,-1.05642);"&gt;Armthorpe&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.5914,-0.98797);"&gt;J5 M180&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.61159,-0.96308);"&gt;Thorne&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option onClick="resetMap(53.62769,-0.95181);"&gt;Moorends&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="map"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre> <p>...But nothing happens when the menu is accessed. Can anyone point me in the right direction - all suggestions appreciated ta!</p>
