I'm hoping to combine the following two codes to create a map that not only searches with a layer of KMZ on top, but also shows navigation options in the infowindow. An example of the two maps side by side can be viewed here. But I want to combine the two maps into one. I've included my attempt at this at the bottom of this post - but it doesn't work.

  1. Firstly, I've adapted this code for searching a map with my kmz (or kml) layered onto it and it works just fine ...

  1. This second code works great with adding a direction link to the info window so you can drive there using your smartphone ...

  • The posted code has a syntax error: `Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }` on the last line of the javascript. When I remove that, [I get a map](http://jsfiddle.net/cf0uuawd/3/) – geocodezip Dec 23 '15 at 05:30
  • I also changed `suppressInfoWindows: false` to `suppressInfoWindows: true` on the KmlLayer. – geocodezip Dec 23 '15 at 05:35
  • My goodness, thank you sooooo much. I fried my brain yesterday. Really kind of you. I'll raise a glass to you next time I'm out. Merry Christmas. – The Heralds Heralded Dec 23 '15 at 11:38

  1. remove the final } in the javascript, it generates a syntax error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }.

  2. change suppressInfoWindows: false to suppressInfoWindows: true (removes the extraneous second copy of the infowindow).

code snippet:

// This example adds a search box to a map, using the Google Place Autocomplete
// feature. People can enter geographical searches. The search box will return a
// pick list containing a mix of places and predicted search terms.

function initAutocomplete() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), {
    center: {
      lat: 53.6292604,
      lng: -2.9380916
    },
    zoom: 5,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  });
  var mapLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
    url: "https://www.google.com/maps/d/kml?mid=zQWA66D2AmlU.kGvUUZ4wvdYo",
    suppressInfoWindows: true,
    preserveViewport: true
  });
  mapLayer.setMap(map);


  // Create the search box and link it to the UI element.
  var input = document.getElementById('pac-input');
  var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
  map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(input);

  // Bias the SearchBox results towards current map's viewport.
  map.addListener('bounds_changed', function() {
    searchBox.setBounds(map.getBounds());
  });

  var markers = [];
  // [START region_getplaces] this was the first to cause problems
  // Listen for the event fired when the user selects a prediction and retrieve
  // more details for that place.
  searchBox.addListener('places_changed', function() {
    var places = searchBox.getPlaces();

    if (places.length == 0) {
      return;
    }

    // Clear out the old markers.
    markers.forEach(function(marker) {
      marker.setMap(null);
    });
    markers = [];

    // For each place, get the icon, name and location.
    var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
    places.forEach(function(place) {
      var icon = {
        url: place.icon,
        size: new google.maps.Size(71, 71),
        origin: new google.maps.Point(0, 0),
        anchor: new google.maps.Point(17, 34),
        scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(25, 25)

      }));

      if (place.geometry.viewport) {
        // Only geocodes have viewport.
        bounds.union(place.geometry.viewport);
      } else {
        bounds.extend(place.geometry.location);
      }
    });
    map.fitBounds(bounds);
