Google Map: - InvalidValueError: setIcon: not a string; and there is no url property; and no path property
I am getting this error on google maps.
Error: InvalidValueError: setIcon: not a string; and there is no url property; and the path property
It used to work fine before and I have never changed my code.
I saw the post Google Maps Error: Uncaught InvalidValueError: setIcon: not string; and there is no url property; and no path property with the same problem and applied the change mentioned in the answer. It used to work and now it has stopped working too.
It seems like Google has changed something in their API, but not sure what exactly. I found the same issue as some other users, @ https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=7423
The link to my site http://www.advantarealty.net/Search//Condo,Single-Family-Home,Townhome_PropertyType/True_ForMap/ just opens in firefox and the error console is displayed. I have included below js files for the map.
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=true&libraries=drawing"></script>

Finally I figured out the question. Before the markwithlabel javascript library, if we want to hide the marker and only want to show the label, we just pass empty curly braces to the icon parameter as shown below
var marker = new MarkerWithLabel({
position: latlng,
draggable: false,
raiseOnDrag: false,
map: map,
labelContent: "$" + (json[i].SALE_PRICE / 1000) + 'k',
labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(22, 0),
labelClass: "marker", // the CSS class for the label
icon: {},
title: json[i].Address,
id: json[i].MLS_ID + '-' + json[i].MLS_LISTING_ID
});
icon: {},
But now it won't work, you need to provide an image icon for this. SO when I put a transparent image on the icon it works now.
icon: '/images/transparent-1x1.png',
Also I am using latest js library for
http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerwithlabel/1.1.10/src/markerwithlabel.js

I ended up with the same problem and below is the solution that worked for me, I hope this helps too.
First add this google token with script tag to JS file - (mine is MarkerWithLabel.js) https://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/source/browse/trunk/markerwithlabel/src /markerwithlabel.js?r=131
Then add below mentioned google map JS libraries to the page -
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=some_key_here&sensor=false
~ / Scripts / MarkerWithLabel.js
function showMap() {
var address = $('#corp-add').text();
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),
zoom: 16
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
var marker = new MarkerWithLabel({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),
draggable: true,
raiseOnDrag: true,
map: map,
labelContent: "$425K",
labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(22, 0),
labelClass: "labels", // the CSS class for the label
labelStyle: { opacity: 0.75 }
});
var iw1 = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "This is a test marker"
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) { iw1.open(map, this); });
}
});
In my code above, I am using Google GeoCoder to convert the address to latitude and longitude. You can modify the above code as per your requirement.
You can also follow these links and they might be helpful - http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerwithlabel/1.1.8/docs/examples.html
Let me know if you need details from me.
