Google Maps API – Closest marker function change to closest n markers

by

You could use the (slightly modified) findClosestN function from this question (changed gmarkers to markers, changed the function to return the closest array limited to numberOfResults elements)

function findClosestN(pt, numberOfResults) {
    var closest = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
        markers[i].distance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(pt, markers[i].getPosition());
        markers[i].setMap(null);
        closest.push(markers[i]);
    }
    closest.sort(sortByDist);
    return closest.splice(0,numberOfResults);
}

function sortByDist(a, b) {
    return (a.distance - b.distance)
}
