Simulate a click in a Google Map

Question

I'm trying to simulate a user click on a Google Map, using API v3, after I geolocate their position when they write down their address.

I used to do:

google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'click', {
    latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng)
});

But now I got an error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'wa' of undefined main.js:727

I need to simulate the click because I'm using Drupal with a CCK field, and it's doing this on clicks under the hood that are not triggered if I add the location pick as a marker.

Answer 1

The map object's 'click' event takes a google.maps.MouseEvent object as parameter:

var mev = {
  stop: null,
  latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(40.0,-90.0)
}

google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'click', mev);
