I have a marker called chicagoMarker and each time the user zooms in closer I would like to alert them if they are getting closer to chicago. I am not sure if I have a problem with my event listener in this instance.
if (score==0) {
chicagoMarker.setMap(map)
google.maps.event.addListener(chicagoMarker,'bounds_changed',function(){
zoom = map.getZoom();
if (bounds.contains(chicagoMarker)){
window.alert("Good Job!");
}
})
}

Not sure about your code... You create a variable
zoom
, but then don't use it. You refer to a variablebounds
, but I don't see that being created anywhere. You have an event listener set up on the Marker for 'bounds_changed', but the Marker class hasn't got that as an event you can listen for. See the list of events available under 'Events' here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MarkerInstead set the event listener on the Map object, for the same event. And I've changed it to see if the Marker's position is inside the Bounds:
