Set Location on Google Map, just by providing an Address - UI5 Custom Control

[Former Member]

Hii :smile:

This is a simple custom control that creates a Google Map and sets the location based on the address provided ! The control can be instantiated in a simpler way just like this,

var oMap = new ref.google.Map({ address:"Bangalore" });

This will produce,

The Address just doesn't have to be a city, it can be any valid address.

Don't forget to check out this snippet, http://jsbin.com/zetel/1/edit where i have done some sample implementations with various address by creating a JSON Model.

The custom control code is avail - https://gist.github.com/ikiw/775a2a438571ba4e00d3

This control requires Google maps library which can be loaded next to the sapui5 bootstrap script

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

Let me know if you've got something to collaborate/enhance this.
