How to pass a google map object from a client to server
in Using jQuery
•
9 years ago
I have developed an application that creates a customl overlay for google maps. The basic idea is that a client through an api would send my server a google map object. My application would add the overlay and send the map back to the client.
For the last several days I have been trying to work out how to pass this object to the server without success. I have an api that works with text. So once I am able to pass this object I can change the api.
The object is created in the statement:
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),mapOptions);
I intend on passing it via the $.ajax call which is incomplete(and incorrect) in the code which follows as mentioned I have not been able to discover a way to pass it. If anyone can at least point me in the correct direction it would be appreciated.
