Using Closures in Event Listeners

This example creates a map with tappable markers displaying a secret message.

JavaScript

function initMap() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 4,
    center: { lat: -25.363882, lng: 131.044922 }
  });

  var bounds = {
    north: -25.363882,
    south: -31.203405,
    east: 131.044922,
    west: 125.244141
  };

  // Display the area between the location southWest and northEast.
  map.fitBounds(bounds);

  // Add 5 markers to map at random locations.
  // For each of these markers, give them a title with their index, and when
  // they are clicked they should open an infowindow with text from a secret
  // message.
  var secretMessages = ["This", "is", "the", "secret", "message"];
  var lngSpan = bounds.east - bounds.west;
  var latSpan = bounds.north - bounds.south;
  for (var i = 0; i < secretMessages.length; ++i) {
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: {
        lat: bounds.south + latSpan * Math.random(),
        lng: bounds.west + lngSpan * Math.random()
      },
      map: map
    });
    attachSecretMessage(marker, secretMessages[i]);
  }
}

// Attaches an info window to a marker with the provided message. When the
// marker is clicked, the info window will open with the secret message.
function attachSecretMessage(marker, secretMessage) {
  var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
    content: secretMessage
  });

  marker.addListener("click", function() {
    infowindow.open(marker.get("map"), marker);
  });
}

CSS

/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
       * element that contains the map. */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
