There's no *easy* way because the address can't be geocoded. You could try http://maps.huge.info/pinpointaddress.htm and look for "St John's Close, Livingston, UK" which is fairly close and then move the marker to the right place. That will tell you the coordinates of your location. Then you can look for "Howden Park Centre, livings...@lat,lon" [use the right numbers for lat,lon!] > Sorry for this, its my first time using the gmaps API. Everyone starts somewhere.
