I am very new (less than 2 days) to google maps. In the first two hours with the help of the examples etc I learned to open a selected map centred where I wanted and to place markers for coordinates specified in an xml file. I am now looking to attach information to those markers and so I have once again used examples to prepare a page
http://www.daybaseweb.co.uk/maps/trymap2.htm I have also created an XML file as suggested http://www.daybaseweb.co.uk/maps/mapdata.xml <markers> <marker name="LUMSDEN SECURITY" address="Aberdeen" lat="57.153" lng="-2.112" type="Bar" /> <marker name="LOCKFAST SECURITY" address="Aberdeen" lat="57.153" lng="-2.112" type="Bar" /> <marker name="BROUGHTY FERRY LOCKSERVICE" address="Carnoustie" lat="56.503" lng="-2.718" type="Bar" /> </markers> The map displays correctly, centred as it should be but no markers and reports an error on the page. Using exactly the same code http://www.daybaseweb.co.uk/maps/trymap.htm but using a simpler xml file http://www.daybaseweb.co.uk/maps/mdata.xml <markers> <marker lat="57.153" lng="-2.112"/> <marker lat="52.479" lng="-1.897"/> the map displays as so the markers but obviously the information is null. Any suggestions as to where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated but please keep it simple. So far I had a map up up and running in two hours but this problem has, so far, occupied me for nearly two days! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
