If you can use javascript, I would suggest looking at Mike Williams' tutorial for the Google Maps API: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ In particular: Part 1 Markers with info windows http://econym.org.uk/gmap/basic1.htm If not, have you looked at MyMaps? http://maps.google.com/help/maps/mymaps/create.html -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
