For example, if I use this online exmaple by Google http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/geocoding-simple.html to locate address "Chickpea,NY,NY" it returns no result, whereas on http://maps.google.com many results are returned and markers are drawn.
Because my Google Map, which resembles this online example, cannot locate this address -- and many others, of course -- I really need a way to retireve locations of an arbitrary address (eg "Chickpea,NY,NY") from http://maps.google.com and draw them on my Google Map. I don't know if there is a workaround for this using API and JavaScript, since the two sites have different domains. Is the idea clear now?
