So you want to pass some 'var' to another page, that then pulls that
data and shows a map of the single marker, and zoom in/center on the
marker?

Easy!

Your Master page link might look like this...

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/getmapmarker.php?
marker=london">London</a>

So when the user clicks the 'London' link, you send the var 'marker'
to getmapmarker.php

inside getmapmarker.php would look like this...

$marker = $_REQUEST['marker'];

Now your $marker has the value 'london'

Do your search on the database and return your results to the map.

then center the map on the result

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat,lon), zoomLevel);
