find marker with jQuery.ui.maps -

I'm using jQuery.ui.maps to addMarkers and (hopefully) find them.

I added some markers as usual (which works including the icon), but with a tag and a value.

map.gmap('addMarker', { 'icon':'themes/images/cafetaria.png',                                                            
'tag':'Mensa', 'position': position }).click(clickcb);

later, I try to find all markers with that tag & value and hide them, but it never finds any. 

map.gmap('find', 'markers', { 'property': 'tag', 'value': 'Mensa' }, function(marker, found) {
        if(found){marker.setVisible(false);}
    });

I cannot see the problem, as I basically copied code from the devs hp. Help is appreciated! THANKS

It seems that this is an issue with the 3.0rc. In order to fix it I found a workaround - you have to define your marker property as array and to pass array with value(s) to the find method:

$('#map_canvas').gmap({'center': '42.2303, 24.7890' }).bind('init', function () {
$('#map_canvas').gmap('addMarker', { 'foo': ['bar'], 'position': '42.2303, 24.7890' });
$('#map_canvas').gmap('find', 'markers', { 'property': 'foo', 'value': ['bar'] }, function(marker, found) {
    marker.setVisible(found);
});

});

I have found a workaround. I'm setting the id and the title on the marker elements.

$('#map_canvas').gmap('addMarker', {id: i, 'position': new google.maps.LatLng(cityList[i][1], cityList[i][2]), title: cityList[i][0]});

Selection based on title or id:

$('#map_canvas').gmap('find', 'markers', { }, function(marker) {
    if(marker.title == markerName){marker.setVisible(false);}
});

OR

$('#map_canvas').gmap('find', 'markers', { }, function(marker) {
    if(marker.id == markerId){marker.setVisible(false);}
});

Below you can find a working example:

            function initialize()
            {
                $('#map_canvas').gmap({ 'center': mobileDemo.center, 'zoom': mobileDemo.zoom, 'disableDefaultUI':false });
            }

            var cityList = [
                ['Chicago', 41.850033, -87.6500523, 1],
                ['Illinois', 40.797177,-89.406738, 2]
            ];

            function addMarkers()
            {
                for (var i = 0; i < cityList.length; i++) 
                {
                    var $marker = $('#map_canvas').gmap('addMarker', {id: i, 'position': new google.maps.LatLng(cityList[i][1], cityList[i][2]), title: cityList[i][0]});

            function hideMarkerByTitle(markerName)

                });         
            }

            function hideMarkerById(markerId)
            {

                });

                e.preventDefault();
                addMarkers();
            });

            $(document).on('click', '.hide-chicago', function(e) {

                hideMarkerByTitle("Chicago");
                // uncomment to try by id
                //hideMarkerById(0);
            });

I hope this helps.

vMap is a lightning jQuery plugin with HTML 5 that makes Google Maps easy by sending a simple JSON Data Structure.

https://github.com/vhugogarcia/vMap

It helped me to solve a lot the markers problem with Google Maps, but also adds the feature for listing the locations if needed.
