Look at how those tutorials work. You need to add the appropriate code and html to your current "buttons" to open the infowindow of the associated marker (or if you want center the map on the associated marker). It might make sense to modify the way your page works to out put the information to create your "buttons" into xml (making the assumption that it is coming out of some kind of a database), then doing something like: The Basics - Part 3 Loading the data from an XML file http://econym.org.uk/gmap/basic3.htm or the "Store Locator" tutorial, just formating the "sidebar" as your "buttons" are now. > > As I say, I'm a novice with this so I'm really grateful for any help.
