Hi Esa, Thank you for your reply. I believe you have over analyzed the simplicity of the situation... Here is the process that I'm looking for:
1. User fills out the form with name address etc. below the map. 2. The form gets saved to a Google Spreadsheet and is auto-published 3. The map above the form pulls the information from the Google spreadsheet 4. The map used the informations from spreadsheet to map the locations of the user using the lat/lng inputs and displays some other output data My concern is that I would like for the map to automatically map the user location using their address and borough (of new york city) without them having to enter their own lat/lng coordinates. I have tried to do this here: http://www.jexd.com/map_new.html using the getlocation() function but it hasnt work. Can you please take a look? Thank you!
