Hello,

is it possible to create and display an apex:mapMarker without reRerender the whole apex:map? I have build a functionality that creates an mapMarker when someone clicks a company name in a table. The goal is to switch to mouseover. However this will be poor user experience if the map reRerenders everytime when someone hovers over the company name.

Can this be done?

Here is my status quo:


Visualforce:

        <!-- Add a CUSTOM map marker for the account that was clicked on -->  
           <apex:mapMarker title="{!HoverAcc.Name}" position="{!HoverAcc.GeoLocPosition__c}" icon="{!URLFOR($Resource.ZipFile,'/green.png')}"/>

 

<apex:form > 
                 <apex:commandLink action="{!findNearby}" value="{!war.ShippingStreet}, {!war.ShippingPostalCode} {!war.ShippingCity}" reRender="map">
                        <apex:param name="HoverAccount" value="{!war.id}" assignTo="{!HoverAccount}" />
                     <apex:param name="center" value="{!war.MapCurrentAddress__c}" assignTo="{!mapCenter}" />
                     <apex:param name="zoom" value="13" assignTo="{!zoom}"/>
                    </apex:commandLink> </apex: form>

Apex Class:
 

public Account HoverAcc {get;set;}

public string HoverAccount {get; set;}

    if(HoverAccount != null) { 
            HoverAcc = [SELECT Id,Name,MapCurrentAddress__c,LocateCity__c,LocateCity__Latitude__s,LocateCity__Longitude__s,ShippingState,MetaData_Distance_Customer__c,Blacklisted__c,MetaData_Last_Deal_in_days__c,WZ_Buchstabe__c,WZ_Abteilung__c,WirtschaftszweigWZ08__c, WZ_Code_ebene_2__c,Mitarbeiternzahl_final__c,AD_MS_Rel_Anzahl_bez__c,GeoLocPosition__c,Geolocation__c,Accountinhaber_Text__c,Auftragseingangstyp__c,ShippingStreet,ShippingCity,ShippingPostalCode,URL_zum_CC__c FROM Account WHERE ID =:HoverAccount]; 
       }
        
      
        else {
            HoverAcc = [SELECT Id,Name,MapCurrentAddress__c,LocateCity__c,LocateCity__Latitude__s,LocateCity__Longitude__s,ShippingState,MetaData_Distance_Customer__c,Blacklisted__c,MetaData_Last_Deal_in_days__c,WZ_Buchstabe__c,WZ_Abteilung__c,WirtschaftszweigWZ08__c, WZ_Code_ebene_2__c,Mitarbeiternzahl_final__c,AD_MS_Rel_Anzahl_bez__c,GeoLocPosition__c,Geolocation__c,Accountinhaber_Text__c,Auftragseingangstyp__c,ShippingStreet,ShippingCity,ShippingPostalCode,URL_zum_CC__c FROM Account WHERE ID =:currentAccount.id]; 
       }

Thanks!
