Introduction:

Here I will explain how to add multiple markers with info windows to google maps using Google maps API V3 in jQuery JSON in asp.net website or use Google maps API V3 to Show multiple markers with info windows in Google maps using jQuery JSON in asp.net website.

Description:

In previous article I explained clearly how to add Google map to website in asp.net, Add marker to Google map in asp.net website, jQuery image slideshow in asp.net, Sitemap navigation control example in asp.net and many articles relating to jQuery, JavaScript, asp.net. Now I will explain how to add multiple markers with info windows using Google maps api v3 in asp.net website using jQuery JSON data in website.

Before add multiple markers with info windows to Google map in website first we need to get Google API key for that please check below url

Get Google Map API Key for website

Once you got the key write the following code in your aspx or html page like as shown below

<head>

<title>Show/Add multiple markers to Google Maps in asp.net website</title>

html { height: 100% }

body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }

#map_canvas { height: 100% }

</style>

</script>

function initialize() {

var markers = [

{

"title": "Chennai",

"lat": 12.897489183755905,

"lng": 80.2880859375,

"description": "Chennai"

},

{

"title": "Hyderabad",

"lat": 17.26672782352052,

"lng": 78.5302734375,

"description": "Hyderabad"

},

{

"title": "Bangalore",

"lat": 12.897489183755905,

"lng": 77.51953125,

"description": "Bangalore"

},

{

"title": "visakhapatnam",

"lat": 17.518344187852207,

"lng": 83.3203125,

"description": "visakhapatnam"

}];

var mapOptions = {

center: new google.maps.LatLng(11.44, 78.79),

zoom: 5,

mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP

// marker:true

};

var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);

for (i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {

var data = markers[i]

var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng);

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

position: myLatlng,

map: map,

title: data.title

});

(function(marker, data) {

// Attaching a click event to the current marker

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(e) {

infoWindow.setContent(data.description);

infoWindow.open(map, marker);

});

})(marker, data);

}

</script>

</head>

</form>

</body>

</html>

If you observe above code in header section I mentioned multiple latitude and longitudes of different cities and by default I mentioned one city latitude and longitude by using that default details we can center the map to near place of other cities based on that other cities whatever we are going to mark are visible.

In remaining code markers are used to add marking in google map and infowindow is used to show info of all the cities based on the description whatever we mentioned in json string.
