Using Map Control multiple times in a section
I have a section in which i use AddressMap (pxAddressMap) multiple times. We display the current user location on the screen by default and on click of a button, we are launching a local action to pull near by people (to current location) and show them as pins on map. The 2nd map we are showing in a modal window. THis works very well.
However we had to write custom map control (Using Google Maps Javascript API) and try to do same as above i am getting an error saying google map api has been used multiple times in the screen.
May i know if there is something to be done in my control that allows me to use it multiple times in the same page? Clearly pxAddressMap does this. I cant see the pxAddressMap source code to find out.
Please let me know if you happen to run into this kind of scenario

Hi,
It would be interesting to understand why you need a custom control in the first instance!
Aside from that, I don't think there is anything Pega specific that has been done to enable multiple map controls. The google api refers to using a JS callback approach
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/adding-a-google-map
Here is an example implementation for multiple maps, the key appears to be to have multiple containers for the different maps - perhaps that's a piece you are missing in your custom implementation?

Sorry for the late reply. The issue i had was with height of the 2nd div. There is an error in browser console saying multiple map scripts were included but it doesnt prevent it from loading them
THanks,
