It took me a while, but I found the information you are looking for thanks to a colleague. When you want to return the GPS location of a marker from Google Maps to a page item in APEX, you can use the GEvent.addListener in the Google API. Start by making the marker draggable and use the dragstart and dragend functions to allow the user to place the marker.

markerOptions = { icon:letteredIcon, draggable:true };

GEvent.addListener(marker, “dragstart”, function() {
map.closeInfoWindow();
});
GEvent.addListener(marker, “dragend”, function() {
document.getElementById(“P1_ITEM”).value = marker.getPoint().lat();
});

By using document.getElementById you can put the data into your page item.

Hopefully this information is helpful for you.

What you are looking for, requires some more knowledge of the Google Maps API. I’ll see if I can find some more information for you. Will get back to you on that.

I was searching through the web someone who can help me with Google Maps API and Oracle APEX. I’ve got already page that is working more less like you’ve described. But what I want to do is to show place on the map (place marker) and this information ( lat, lng) I want to send to Oracle DB. So in this situation it is sending variable value from javascript to PL/SQL. Do you have some idea how to do that??

Thanks,
