The ll coordinates in that link are the center of the map. When the infoWindow opens it can move the map so the address you entered is not centered. Close the infoWindow and manually center the map so the place you want the marker to appear is centered. Then click the Link icon... This is what I get when I do that: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=34+Boulevard+of+the+Allies,+Pittsburgh,+PA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=64.752695,113.203125&ie=UTF8&ll=40.439819,-80.006561&spn=0.001939,0.003455&t=h&z=18 The API geocoder gives me 40.440136, -80.006561 (but that is on the street) -- Larry > > On Sep 17, 1:47 pm, Mike Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You did something wrong when you copied the coordinates.
