Your map variable is local to the load function.
Remove the "var" from in front of it so it uses the global one (which
you define above).
Change this:
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
// Create and Center a Map
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
to this:
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
// Create and Center a Map
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
