Google Maps works using the latitude and longitude of the locations to locate them on the map. There is a built in geocoder that will translate an address to a latitude and longitude, but it is subject to a "speed limit". The code that you are currently using does not check for errors and will silently fail (the marker will not appear) when too many requests are made. See this page from Mike Williams' tutorial for more details: Part 17 Geocoding multiple addresses http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geomulti.htm > Is there a direction I can point him in or do I get a new coder?
