Google Map V3 Constants as Variables
- by Beardy
In the example below I am trying to update the map type depending on the value of the selected option type.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to load the maptype into the google.maps.MapTypeId which is frustrating. I have tried it as a string as well as var gmapsMapType = google.maps.MapTypeId.++maptype; and I feel I am missing something here.
HTML
<select id="maptype" name="maptype">
<option selected="selected" value="RoadMap">Road Map</option>
<option value="Satellite">Satellite</option>
<option value="Hybrid">Hybrid</option>
<option value="Terrain">Terrain</option>
</select>
JQUERY
var maptype = $('#maptype>option:selected').val().toUpperCase();
var gmapsMapType = google.maps.MapTypeId.+maptype;
map.setMapTypeId(gmapsMapType);
Help is appreciated.
