Google Maps Addgeojson From Text Field With Js

I am trying to insert an polygon to a google map. The Coordinates for the polygon are in a Textfield value stored like this : {'type':'Polygon','coordinates':[[[9.99893181141,53.77

Solution 1:

To convert text to JSON, use JSON.parse.

<input id="polyJson"type="text" value='{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[9.99893181141,53.7746888818],[9.53475944814,53.5745692488],[9.94125358875,53.3636652005],[10.4136656981,53.5223496849],[10.3285216551,53.7860492252],[10.1966857177,53.7892944727],[9.99893181141,53.7746888818]]]}' />

var polyJson_txt = document.getElementById('polyJson').value;
var polygonJson = JSON.parse(polyJson_txt);
geoJson.features[0].geometry = polygonJson;

code snippet:

var geocoder;
var map;

functioninitialize() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419),
      zoom: 13,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    });
  var geoJson = {
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [{
      "type": "Feature",
      "geometry": {},
      "properties": {}
    }]
  };
  geoJson.features[0].geometry = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('polyJson').value);
  map.data.addListener('addfeature', function(evt) {
    var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
    var coords = evt.feature.getGeometry().getAt(0).getArray();
    for (var i = 0; i < coords.length; i++) {
      bounds.extend(coords[i]);
    }
    map.fitBounds(bounds);
  });
  map.data.addGeoJson(geoJson);
  google.maps.event.addDomListener(document.getElementById('btn'), 'click', function() {
    geoJson.features[0].geometry = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('polyJson2').value);
    map.data.addGeoJson(geoJson);
  });
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);
