When the user clicks an area on a map, I want to record the lat/long and create a marker where the click occurred.
I use the 'click' event to achieve this. This works fine, except that when the user pans the map (holds the mouse button and moves the map), I don't want to record the lat/long and create a marker. I basically want to ignore panning.

Inside the click event, is there a way to differentiate between a regular click and a click that occurs as part of the panning? I also tried attaching to the 'panEnd' event, but haven't found anything to achieve what I want, such as some sort of offset value indicating if the map moved.

I'm using Kendo UI Complete v2013.3.1119 with IE10.

Hi Marc,

In the current scenario I would recommend the following approach:
  1. Attach a handler to the pan event and raise a flag once it's triggered 
  2. Once the click event handler is reached check the flag. If it it's raised then the user has panned, so there is no need to execute the logic in the click event handler.
  3. At the end of the click handler lower the flag.
