Add your showAddress function in the javascript section.
Add this in the HTML section where you want the input box to appear:
<label for="startAddress">Your Location: </label><input type="input"
id="startAddress" size="40" value=""/><input name="button" type="button"
value="Find Station" onclick="javascript:showAddress(
document.getElementById('startAddress').value);"/>
