Google Maps Data Layer, Click on geometry programmatically

Question

I have a google map where I load geometry data to the data layer using geoJSON. I bind to the following event in the data layer.

map.data.addListener('click', function (event) { console.log(event);});

How can I trigger this event manually? I know I can trigger the click event on a marker manually, but it is triggered through google.maps.event.

Answer 1

That should be done with google.maps.event.trigger.

Try this (not sure):

// invoke a click
google.maps.event.trigger(map.data, 'click');
