How do I dynamically load the map?

When I try to use the GClientGeocoder(); on the initial page load the map
does not load..


        var map = null;
        var geocoder = null;

        function initialize() {
            if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

                geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

                map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
                map.setCenter(
                              geocoder.getLatLng(GetPoint('7805 new castle
ct, mckinney, tx'))<------------------I have removed the hard coded point to
the string address to simulate using the GetPoint function that I would use
                                          , 13);
            }
        }


        function GetPoint(point) { if (point) return point;
}<---------------Here is what I added
        


        function showAddress(address) {
            if (geocoder) {
                geocoder.getLatLng(
          address,
          function(point) {
              if (!point) {
                  alert(address + " not found");
              } else {
                  map.setCenter(point, 15);
                  var marker = new GMarker(point);
                  map.addOverlay(marker);
                  marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address);
              }
          }
        );
            }
        }

You will need to use the HTTP geocoder to get the coordinates on the
server if you want to use them in PHP:

There may be a better way to do whatever it is that you are trying to
do.
