How to make Window.matchMedia hide a map

Hi there,

On a previous topic about multiple maps (one for desktop and one for mobile) I was informed the reason the map on mobile was sooo slow is because I wasn’t using Window.matchMedia to hide the desktop map and stop two versions of the code running.

I’ve managed to get it working with background colour but wondering how I get it to work with the mobile and desktop maps (e.g it stops the desktop script running at the same time as the mobile one so the mobile map actually loads properly)

Here’s the code I’m using and the project I have it implemented on.

<!--- Window.matchMedia Script --->

<script>

	function myFunction(x) {

   	if (x.matches) { // If media query matches

   document.body.style.backgroundColor = "#ff5353";

   } else {

   document.body.style.backgroundColor = "#ad00ff";

   }

		}

		var x = window.matchMedia("(max-width: 1500px)")

			myFunction(x) // Call listener function at run time

				x.addListener(myFunction) // Attach listener function on state changes

</script>

<!--- Gmap Script --->

  <script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDrZsRiUQsKc-7JNL8VvBgRsmS0FBDbJ3Q&callback=initMap"

@art_ytc any tutorials or videos you could link me to to help with this issue?

This is the only error I’m getting when the map switches to mobile, the pin is on the map and you can move it around the terrain just won’t load :confused:

Your request seems to be quite broad, and may not be easily answerable/solvable via the forums as it is not design-related. Would you like to move your post to the Freelance category instead?

Alternatively, you can also contact specialists in our Experts directory to custom code a solution for you.
