  • 0

I have a custom marker on my map, and an image above the maps, which I would like to have on click, center the google map on the custom marker, the image is linked to. How would I do that with google api? I am terrible with figuring out what google api code could do this, could someone show me an example?

I am trying to add it to the companyimage variable

    with jquery and google API V-3 you can use 

    $("#yourImage").click(function(e){
    YOURMAP.setCenter(mapLat,mapLng); // add real lng and lat 
});

    point the var YOURMAP to the map and the lat and lng an it will center on the point and resize if needed.
