Google Maps and jQuery Fade / Slide

#1

Hey guys,

having an issue with Google Maps display incorrectly while fading in / sliding it with jQuery. Is there an easy fix?

Thanks in advance.

If you mean the map originally loads while its container is hidden, and then when it is revealed the maps is displaying incorrectly, what you need to do is add a callback to resize and recenter the map the first time it is revealed.

Basically, set a callback for your show event that calls

function(){
  google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
  map.setCenter(latlng);
}

You’ll need to have the map object to manipulate of course, which means you’ll want to draw the map via the API if you’re not already :slight_smile:

Thanks! Will give it a try.
