Home › Forums › General Issues › Google Map Default InfoWindow on Load
Hi community!
One issue I cannot seem to tackle, and need any help offered. I’m trying to set the map to show the first infoWindow on load rather than just having a map with x markers that require clicking. (Attached photo for reference if that’s vague.)
Any ideas? My code is below for reference (though it’s pretty standard).
Thanks!

Hi @jomurgel,
Thanks for the post.
I would recommend you save your markers to an array and then trigger a click event on of one of them using google.maps.event.trigger(). An example of this would look like so:
function initialize() {
...
point = new google.maps.LatLng(55.660491,12.587087); createMarker(point, "<div class='infoWindow'>3</div>");
google.maps.event.trigger(markers[1], 'click');
}
function createMarker(latlng, html, name, number) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: name,
//icon: iconBase + number + '.png'
icon: iconBase
});
// added to collect markers
markers.push(marker);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
console.log('click event listener');
infowindow.setContent(html);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
//map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());
// corrected due to error
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(55.678939, 12.568359));
});
}
