Google Maps : Change Map Marker Location On Dropdown

I want to change map marker position on basis of dropdown change even,What I'm doing is I get lat,long on dropdown event and want to pass these coordinates to my current marker ,

Solution 1:

Looks like you are looking for .setPosition():

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-24.397, 140.644);
marker.setPosition(latlng);

Solution 2:

You need to set the position of the marker based on the results of the geocode operation.

$("#location").change(function() {
  var addr = ($('#location').val());

  var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
  geocoder.geocode({'address': addr
  }, function(results, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
      map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
      geoMarker.setPosition(results[0].geometry.location);
    } else {
      alert("Something got wrong " + status);
    }
  });
});

code snippet:

var geocoder;
var map;
var geoMarker;

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
    });
  geoMarker = new google.maps.Marker();
  geoMarker.setPosition(map.getCenter());
  geoMarker.setMap(map);

  $("#location").change(function() {
    var addr = ($('#location').val());

    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
    geocoder.geocode({
      'address': addr
    }, function(results, status) {
      if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
        geoMarker.setPosition(results[0].geometry.location);
      } else {
        alert("Something got wrong " + status);
      }
    });
  });

}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);
