Customizing markers based on variable in javascript
I am trying to create a different markers based on a particular variable. There are three coordinates on my map, with and info window. Each coordinate has a different "Report type" (donation, request,disaster). I am trying to customize each coordinate to have a different marker based on the report type, but I am only able to create the same marker for all coordinates. Map
var map;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
function initialization() {
showAllReports();
}
function showAllReports() {
$.ajax({
url: 'HttpServlet',
type: 'POST',
data: { "tab_id": "1"},
success: function(reports) {
mapInitialization(reports);
},
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
alert("An AJAX error occured: " + status + "nError: " + error);
}
});
}
function mapInitialization(reports) {
var mapOptions = {
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, // Set the type of Map
};
// Render the map within the empty div
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),mapOptions);
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds ();
$.each(reports, function(i, e) {
var long = Number(e['longitude']);
var lat = Number(e['latitude']);
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, long);
bounds.extend(latlng);
// Create the infoWindow content
