Map Box plotting marker in wrong location

340 views Asked by At

In the below screen shot you can see a marker labeled Mother Earth Brewery, but it should read Dogfish Head:

enter image description here

My code for adding my map box markers is:

var lat;
            var lng;

            var markers = [];
            var markerTemp;

            for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                lat = parseFloat(data[i].lat);
                lng = parseFloat(data[i].lng);


                if (lat == "" || lng == "") {

                } else {
                    L.marker([lat, lng]).addTo(map).bindPopup(data[i].brewery);
                    markerTemp = L.marker([lat, lng]);
                    markers.push(markerTemp);

                    alert("Brewery: " + data[i].brewery + "Lat: " + lat + "Long: " + lng );

                }
                var group = L.featureGroup(markers);

                map.fitBounds(group.getBounds());


            }

the variable data is json that is being parsed below:

In the code you can see I added this alert("Brewery: " + data[i].brewery + "Lat: " + lat + "Long: " + lng );

to make sure the right values were going into the

markerTemp = L.marker([lat, lng]);
markers.push(markerTemp);

I verified the correct data was going in one by one via the alert and comparing to the output of the JSON. All looks correct and I am stuck, a second set of eyes would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Last two lines of the code should be outside the for loop. You intent to add all the markers as a group into the map, however what you do is actually seems to be programatically incorrect.

I noticed that comparison of a float number with a string is not a good programming practice.

if (lat == "" || lng == "")

Here I have modified the code accordingly:

var lat;
var lng;

var markers = [];
var markerTemp;

for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    lat = parseFloat(data[i].lat);
    lng = parseFloat(data[i].lng);

    if (data[i].lat !== "" && data[i].lng !== "") {
        markerTemp = L.marker([lat, lng]).addTo(map).bindPopup(data[i].brewery);
        markers.push(markerTemp);

        console.log("Brewery: " + data[i].brewery + "Lat: " + lat + "Long: " + lng );
    }
}
var group = L.featureGroup(markers);
map.fitBounds(group.getBounds());
