ReferenceError: google is not defined

[igler]

I get the error "ReferenceError: google is not defined" before the function onGoogleReady() is called. I load your module like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/angular-ui-utils/modules/event/event.js "></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/angular-ui-map/src/map.js"></script>
<script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/web/views/js/mapController.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" async="async" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&callback=onGoogleReady"></script>

If I do not use the attribute async when loading the GoogleAPI I get:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'appendChild' of null 

which is called in the line

document.body.appendChild(s);

of Google's js-script.

If I take the following Google-API-script:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>

and the controller

var myMapsApp = angular.module('myMapsApp', [ 'restangular', 'ui.map', 'ui.event' ]);

function onGoogleReady() {
    console.log('onGoogleReady...');

    //angular.bootstrap(document.getElementById("map"), [ 'app.ui-map' ]);
}

angular.module('myMapsApp').controller('MapController', [ '$scope', function($scope) {
    
    $scope.mapOptions = {
        center : new google.maps.LatLng(35.784, -78.670),
        zoom : 15,
        mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };
} ]);

... then the maps is displayed but I don't have a callback function registered. Is there any demo-page I could use to solve this?

Check out that you have no ng-app defined in you .html because angular it's going to load the module before you call you load it in the angular.bootstrap() method

Thanx, got it working now. BTW the zoom-in-out panel is crippled. I fixed this with

.map-canvas img{ 
    max-width: none;
}

Maybe you can add this to your introduction?

As I use the map in a bootstrap-accordion for presenting some locations (around 30) loading the page takes its time I wonder what concepts I could use to make it more performant. Maybe use a map service? Have you any experiences/sample code that you could share?

[facuferrari]

I've didn't use the zoom panel with this. And for the performance maybe you could put the libraries in your project and user requirejs optimization ?

I am trying to set a marker. The HTML-code is:

<section id="map">
<div ui-map="myMap" ui-options="$parent.getMapOptions(location.latitude, location.longitude)" ui-map-marker="$parent.getMarker(location.latitude, location.longitude, location.name)" class="map-canvas-locations"></div>
</section>

But I get an error "Converting circular structure to JSON" when adding the "ui-map-marker"-attribute. The code of the marker function is:

$scope.getMarker = function(latitude, longitude, name) {
        return {
              position: new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),
              map: $scope.myMap,
              title: name
          };
    };

Is the way I do it correct?
