HERE map doesn't load on page load, it only shows the HERE logo and copyright, but it loads with a function on clicking a button. The below code is slightly adapted from the HERE docs (https://developer.here.com/documentation/maps/3.1.30.3/dev_guide/topics/map-controls-ui.html). I want the map loaded with the page, not after clicking a button. What am I missing?
<div id="map" style="height: 400px; width: 100%;"></div>
$(function() {
let platform = new H.service.Platform({
'apikey': api_key
});
loadMap ({
lat: <?php echo round($obj->getLatitude(), 4); ?>,
lng: <?php echo round($obj->getLongitude(), 4); ?>
});
function loadMap (position) {
let defaultLayers = platform.createDefaultLayers();
let map = new H.Map(
document.getElementById('map'),
defaultLayers.vector.normal.map,
{
zoom: 16,
center: position,
}
);
});
});
[EDIT] I've been struggling for days trying to figure out why the map wouldn't load with the very basic code example. And I accidentally closed the browser Development console and the map appeared all of a sudden! What the?!...
So the problem is the map won't appear on page load until the window is resized. So what can I do to trigger that to make the map to appear?
It seems the code for browser is generated by PHP backend.
You need double check what is generated. It seems that map container
<div id="map" style="height: 400px; width: 100%;"></div>
is not ready in HTML DOM but the script is already started.
Please compare a result document(that generated by PHP-backend) with follow structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0,
width=device-width" />
<script src="https://js.api.here.com/v3/3.1/mapsjs-core.js"
type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="https://js.api.here.com/v3/3.1/mapsjs-service.js"

<script src="https://js.api.here.com/v3/3.1/mapsjs-ui.js"

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

</head>
<body>
<div id="map" style="height: 400px; width: 100%;"></div>
<script>
Your script here! - It should be latest element of body-element
