Great! Thank you. It is working now and I have updated my code on http://sites.google.com/site/mapsapiproject/Home . Unfortunately I ran into another problem. I need the map to be posted as an image. >From what I have read this means it needs to be a static map, but I can't seem to get it to work. Is this even possible with the GeoXml function? The code I have posted is not for a static map. I am guessing I need to change the line:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps? file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAAoVq8d0aZElfu2eUGkhFdzhT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxQSOns9BCCyQuULtRV8q3B3Rh_j3A" to something like <script src="http://maps.google.com/ staticmap?..........key=ABQIAAAAoVq8d0aZElfu2eUGkhFdzhT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxQSOns9BCCyQuULtRV8q3B3Rh_j3A" I just can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone help me get the map to post as a static .PNG image?
