Do the geocoding first, and then create the marker and add it to the
map inside the geocoder's callback function:
var geocoder=new GClientGeocoder();
var address = "10 Downing Street, London UK";
geocoder.getLatLng(address, function(point) {
var marker = createMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
If you need to pass other parameters, you need a helper function for
the geocoder to get function closure on those parameters too. This
keeps each "html" tied to its own "address":
var geocoder=new GClientGeocoder();
var address = "10 Downing Street, London UK";
var html = "Prime Minister & First Lord of the Treasury";
geocodeAndCreateMarker(address,html);
...
function geocodeAndCreateMarker(address,html) {
geocoder.getLatLng(address, function(point) {
var marker = createMarker(point,html);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
}
You may need to use .getLocations() instead of .getLatLng(), depending
on error handling or data requirements.
