Thanks for the response, I will read through the info at the link you provided. I eventually plan to add the lat and long info for each business to my database. However this still does'nt solve my problem. How do I call the information from the database, and insert it into the google map controls? Wether I use Geocode for the address or the actual lat and long from the database, I cannot overlook this step.
