NNM Map Viewer

Documentation

Simple map functionality with capabilities of showing markers and lines.

Basics

The map is created from parameters defined in the URL.

Mandatory parameters

origo
The map is initially centered at coordinates defined by the origo parameter. Example: origo=69.00,19.00.
zoom
The map has an initial zoom level.

Optional parameters

title
A title can be defined. Example: title=My%20own%20special%20title.
point
point is an array of coordinates for which a polygon should be drawn between each consecutive point (order is therefore important). A polygon can be shown between (at least two) coordinates defined with the point parameter. Each point is defined by latitude and longitude coordinates. Example: point=69.059969,10.9575&point=55.336944,10.9575.
marker
marker is an array of coordinates where a marker should be placed. Markers can be shown for (one of several) defined points. Example: marker=6.90,7.23 or marker=6.90,7.23&marker=69.2203,17.1234.
showMarkerForOrigo
A marker can be shown for origo (showMarkerForOrigo=true).
showCoordinates
If you click in the map, the current coordinates will popup (showCoordinates=true).
showCircle
Show the smallest possible circle, centered at origo, that "surrounds" every marker defined (showCircle=true).
showRectangle
Show the smallest possible rectangle that "surrounds" every marker defined (showRectangle=true).
