If you know where the location is, use the known address not the one returned by the geocoder. The only reason for geocoding addresses on the fly is for user entered addresses, that are not known ahead of time. Geocode your addresses off-line, store the resulting coordinates in a database (or a static xml file) then use the coordinates to display the marker. http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geomulti.htm -- Larry > > Does the API and the map page use the same database?
