Question

I would like to offer two kinds of filtering in my Google Map web page.
Each kind is based on different logic:

• the first is based on the location type “house, building, shopping mall…”
• the second is based on a time stamp “when the user visited this place”.

What I am able to do now is to show or hide the markers according the location type (using check boxes).

My questions are:

1- How can I show or hide the markers according a time stamp? Using a time line or something like.

2- Can I define two categories for one single marker? like this I can show and hide markers using check boxes like in the case of location type?

For example here is the function that I am using to show and hide markers according to location type:

// == shows all markers of a particular location type, and ensures the checkbox is checked ==
function show(category)
{
    var markers = oms.getMarkers();

    for (var i=0; i<markers.length; i++) 
    {
        if (markers[i].mycategory == category)
              markers[i].setVisible(true);
        else
            markers[i].setVisible(false);
    }
    // == check the checkbox ==
    document.getElementById(category+"Box").checked = true;
}

Thank you

Answer 1

Add a markers[i].mytimestamp property to the marker

Add show/hide functions that use that to do what you want.
