Question

I currently have a Google Map in my application with the drawing manager enabled. It currently reads from my database and populates the map with markers and circles from the data it retrieves. I can successfully use some hooks like “radius_changed” to save changes to the circles/markers back to the database. However, I can’t seem to find an “onCreate” hook in the API to save data to the database when I draw a marker/circle on the map. Can anyone tell me how to do what I need to do?

Answer 1

The Drawing manager has two events for your purpose:

circleComplete: This event is fired when the user has finished drawing a circle.

google.maps.drawing.OverlayCompleteEvent object, a more generic event
