How To Pass Latitude And Longitude To Google Maps Dynamically Javascript

To pass latitude and longitude dynamically to Google Maps using JavaScript, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, create a div element in your HTML where you want to display the map.
  2. Next, create a JavaScript function that will create and initialize the map:
  3. 
    function initMap(latitude, longitude) {
        var options = {
            zoom: 10,
            center: { lat: latitude, lng: longitude }
        };
        
        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), options);
    }
    
  4. Within the initMap function, you need to provide the latitude and longitude as parameters.
  5. Call the initMap function with the desired latitude and longitude values:
  6. 
    initMap(40.7128, -74.0060);
    
  7. The above line of code will initialize the map with the latitude of 40.7128 and longitude of -74.0060. You can replace these values with your own dynamically retrieved values.
  8. Add the Google Maps API script in your HTML file:
  9. 
    <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY">
  10. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your own Google Maps API key. You can get an API key by creating a project in the Google Cloud Console and enabling the Maps JavaScript API.
  11. Finally, add the div element in your HTML where you want to display the map:
  12. 
    <div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 400px;">

    The above div with id "map" will be used by the JavaScript function to render the map dynamically.

Here's an example that demonstrates the above steps:
