Getting a google map marker from localStorage?

in Using jQuery • 8 years ago

Hi,

If I use the click event of a google map marker to place it in local storage how would I use it? Will it be as simple as:

function setactivemarker() {
var activemarker = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("activemarker"));
activemarker.setMap(MYDIRMAP.map); // this is a different map than the original one the marker was placed on and I want to reassign it the preceding map.
}

Do I need to use JSON.stringify when I store the active marker? What will activemarker actually be?

Thanks for any help.

localStorage always returns a string.

JSON.parse returns an Object.

There will not be a setMap method in activemarker. Your page will die.

Thanks for the advice. It saved me from going down the wrong path. All I really needed was the position of the marker and so I used:

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
ampos = marker.getPosition();
alert(ampos);
});
