Remove Center Bouncing Marker

[AMGill]

Any way I can remove this completely? When searching by zip code the bouncing marker is right above a location and it cannot be clicked on for information. I don’t really find this necessary and it doesn’t seem to be an option in the settings to remove. Anything in the code that I can edit? I looked but was unable to find. Hope this is answered fast as my client is a little picky….if you know what I mean.

Hi
What you’ll need to do is open wpgooglemaps.php and go to line 1419 to 1423. You should see this:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: point,
map: MYMAP.map,
animation: google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE
});

Simply delete that whole section and the marker will not appear.

Does this help?

Kind regards
Nick

I tried. Deleted all mention of Bounce in both reg and pro version php files and it still happens. Any other suggestions? You have my login info so feel free to go in and take a look. Hopefully soon. Thanks

I am trying to do the same thing. How do I go about this? Thank you for any help that you can afford.

Hi Dericcain
We’re including an option for this in Pro 5.26 (should be available by next Monday)

Kind regards
Nick

I was having an issue where the bouncing icon was also one of my category icons, so it was confusing for users since it wasn’t actually one of the markers and wasn’t clickable. I had uploaded an icon to be the “default” but the plugin wasn’t using it. I figured out that the bouncing icon matches the icon of first marker I create in a map, so I was able to set my first marker with a blank icon – a transparent png that is empty, which I uploaded. It doesn’t show on the map at all, no bouncing, nothing. I just wanted to share in case that info helps someone else.

Sorry to reopen this thread, Am having the same issues, i cant seem to set a custom map icon for the start location of the search, i have diffrent icons for different categories, and my start point is bouncing and looks just like all my other icons under this category.

I looked for the line of code, but could not find it in any of the files at the line locations you mentioned.

I’m having the same issue. I have changed the custom default marker.

The use case is here:

1. User searches the location via Store Locator by giving the address.
2. His/Her location address is shown with non-bouncing icon with map marker
pic customized via setting in Store Locator – page.

Hi All
This will be available next week. Sorry for the wait.

Thanks for making a way to fix this. I’m having the same problem.
Also tried commenting out the code you suggested removing, but to no avail.

Hi All
I had a personal emergency to deal with (see http://www.wpgmaps.com/forums/topic/recent-support-response-time/)

I will endeavor to get this out next week
