How to simulate a click on a Google Maps Marker?

What I'd like to do is to invoke the click handler on a marker. So this is my code :

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

    position: location,

    map: map,

    title: title

});    



google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {

    alert(clicked);

});        



marker.click();

but I cannot see any alert...

It's possible to trigger any Maps API event listener on any object using the google.maps.event.trigger function.

You'll probably want to pass in a mock MouseEvent object, depending on what your event listener(s) do with it.

Example:

google.maps.event.trigger(marker, 'click', {

  latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0)

});
