google.maps.Map class

This class extends MVCObject.

Constructor

Constructor

Description

Map(mapDiv:Node, opts?:MapOptions)

Creates a new map inside of the given HTML container, which is typically a DIV element.

用给定的容器新建地图, 常用的是 DIV.

Methods

Methods

Return Value

Description

fitBounds(bounds:LatLngBounds)

None

Sets the viewport to contain the given bounds.

getBounds()

LatLngBounds

Returns the lat/lng bounds of the current viewport. If more than one copy of the world is visible, the bounds range in longitude from -180 to 180 degrees inclusive. If the map is not yet initialized (i.e. the mapType is still null), or center and zoom have not been set then the result is null or undefined.

getCenter()

LatLng

Returns the position displayed at the center of the map. Note that thisLatLng object is not wrapped. See LatLng for more information.

getDiv()

Node

 

getHeading()

number

Returns the compass heading of aerial imagery. The heading value is measured in degrees (clockwise) from cardinal direction North.

getMapTypeId()

MapTypeId|string

 

getProjection()

Projection

Returns the current Projection. If the map is not yet initialized (i.e. the mapType is still null) then the result is null. Listen toprojection_changed and check its value to ensure it is not null.

getStreetView()

StreetViewPanorama

Returns the default StreetViewPanorama bound to the map, which may be a default panorama embedded within the map, or the panorama set using setStreetView(). Changes to the map's streetViewControl will be reflected in the display of such a bound panorama.

getTilt()

number

Returns the current angle of incidence of the map, in degrees from the viewport plane to the map plane. The result will be 0 for imagery taken directly overhead or 45 for 45° imagery. 45° imagery is only available for SATELLITE and HYBRID map types, within some locations, and at some zoom levels. Note: This method does not return the value set bysetTilt. See setTilt for details.

getZoom()

number

 

panBy(x:number, y:number)

None

Changes the center of the map by the given distance in pixels. If the distance is less than both the width and height of the map, the transition will be smoothly animated. Note that the map coordinate system increases from west to east (for x values) and north to south (for y values).

panTo(latLng:LatLng|LatLngLiteral)

None

Changes the center of the map to the given LatLng. If the change is less than both the width and height of the map, the transition will be smoothly animated.

panToBounds(latLngBounds:LatLngBounds)

None

Pans the map by the minimum amount necessary to contain the givenLatLngBounds. It makes no guarantee where on the map the bounds will be, except that as much of the bounds as possible will be visible. The bounds will be positioned inside the area bounded by the map type and navigation (pan, zoom, and Street View) controls, if they are present on the map. If the bounds is larger than the map, the map will be shifted to include the northwest corner of the bounds. If the change in the map's position is less than both the width and height of the map, the transition will be smoothly animated.

setCenter(latlng:LatLng|LatLngLiteral)

None

 

setHeading(heading:number)

None

Sets the compass heading for aerial imagery measured in degrees from cardinal direction North.

setMapTypeId(mapTypeId:MapTypeId|string)

None

 

setOptions(options:MapOptions)

None

 

setStreetView(panorama:StreetViewPanorama)

None

Binds a StreetViewPanorama to the map. This panorama overrides the default StreetViewPanorama, allowing the map to bind to an external panorama outside of the map. Setting the panorama to null binds the default embedded panorama back to the map.

setTilt(tilt:number)

None

Controls the automatic switching behavior for the angle of incidence of the map. The only allowed values are 0 and 45. setTilt(0) causes the map to always use a 0° overhead view regardless of the zoom level and viewport. setTilt(45) causes the tilt angle to automatically switch to 45 whenever 45° imagery is available for the current zoom level and viewport, and switch back to 0 whenever 45° imagery is not available (this is the default behavior). 45° imagery is only available for SATELLITE and HYBRID map types, within some locations, and at some zoom levels. Note: getTilt returns the current tilt angle, not the value set by setTilt. Because getTilt and setTilt refer to different things, do not bind() the tilt property; doing so may yield unpredictable effects.

setZoom(zoom:number)

None

google.maps.Data class

A layer for displaying geospatial data. Points, line-strings and polygons can be displayed.

Every Map has a Data object by default, so most of the time there is no need to construct one. For example:

 var myMap = new google.maps.Map(...);
 myMap.data.addGeoJson(...);
 myMap.data.setStyle(...);

The Data object is a collection of Features.

You can implement this class if you want to display custom types of overlay objects on the map. 

Inherit from this class by setting your overlay's prototype: MyOverlay.prototype = new google.maps.OverlayView();. The OverlayView constructor is guaranteed to be an empty function. 

You must implement three methods: onAdd(), draw(), and onRemove().

You must call setMap() with a valid Map object to trigger the call to the onAdd() method and setMap(null) in order to trigger the onRemove() method. The setMap() method can be called at the time of construction or at any point afterward when the overlay should be re-shown after removing. Thedraw() method will then be called whenever a map property changes that could change the position of the element, such as zoom, center, or map type.

google.maps.LatLng class

A LatLng is a point in geographical coordinates: latitude and longitude.
 

Although the default map projection associates longitude with the x-coordinate of the map, and latitude with the y-coordinate, the latitude coordinate is always written first, followed by the longitude.
Notice that you cannot modify the coordinates of a LatLng. If you want to compute another point, you have to create a new one.
 

 

Constructor

Constructor

Description

LatLng(lat:number, lng:number, noWrap?:boolean)

Creates a LatLng object representing a geographic point. Latitude is specified in degrees within the range [-90, 90]. Longitude is specified in degrees within the range [-180, 180]. Set noWrap to true to enable values outside of this range. Note the ordering of latitude and longitude.

Returns a string of the form "lat,lng" for this LatLng. We round the lat/lng values to 6 decimal places by default.

google.maps.LatLngLiteral object specification

Object literals are accepted in place of LatLng objects, as a convenience, in many places. These are converted to LatLng objects when the Maps API encounters them.

Examples:

 map.setCenter({lat: -34, lng: 151});
 new google.maps.Marker({position: {lat: -34, lng: 151}, map: map});

LatLng object literals are not supported in the Geometry library.

lng

number

Longitude in degrees. Values outside the range [-180, 180] will be wrapped so that they fall within the range. For example, a value of -190 will be converted to 170. A value of 190 will be converted to -170. This reflects the fact that longitudes wrap around the globe.
