Hello W3S! Been a while ^^

 

I have a question related to Google Maps. I dont know if anyone in here knows about the app/website named "TooGoodToGo"? Well, it is a company based on a varies of restaurants in the Nordic/West side of the world... that i am aware off anyways...

 

they have this google map that shows the location(s) of each restaurant, showing the location, information, etc about it and prices. I would like to make something similar...

 

That i already know is that i need longtitude and latitude, correct me if i am wrong.

My question is, how do i make it like the TGTG website so that i can show Multiple locations in the map? With links to them as well as information & details about the prices?

 

The idea is to let restaurants know that they can sell their "left overs" to less prices to those people that almost no money have... it is actually a greater deal in the Nordic/West, you can get a lot from it.. instead of wasting good food in the trash..

 

Hopefully you know what i am talking about and my english dont scare you away :P

 

Thanks in advance if you can help me solve this puzzle...

 

PS: I am going to store the long and latitude in my database...

 

Hope you can help me out where i fail, as usual :P

 

Thanks again! :D

I have never done that, but I would start with their API docs

https://developers.google.com/maps/

https://developers.google.com/maps/web/ (for the web)

 

Depending how you decide to show a map, the options may be different, but I'm sure it's in there and / or there examples across the web, I imagine it is a very commonly used feature by developers.

Thanks dude, will take a look at it.

All i am looking for really is something that has already been done by the "toogoodtogo" food website service when you look at their map :/

 

They show which restaurants their services applies on the map, that is why i want it integrated...

This is what i used many years ago, still works, you need to get your own google map api key though, just google.

I just spotted error

 

change infowindow.setContent('<strong>' + locations[i][0] + '</strong><p>' + locations[i][3] + '</p>');

 

to

 

infowindow.setContent('<strong>' + locations[i][0] + '</strong><div>' + locations[i][3] + '</div>');

 

else you will end up with invalid code with paragraph elements being child elements of a parent paragraph element.
