1. The Google Maps API v2 is deprecated and will no longer be
supported after May 19, 2013; new development using this API is not
recommended, you should be using the Google Maps API v3:
documentation:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial
Google Maps API v3 group:
https://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3
Technical Support is now at Stack Overflow:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-maps-api-3
2. In all versions of the Google Maps API (v1-3) the setCenter method
requires coordinates (latitude and longitude). All versions of the
API also include geocoding functionality (to convert postal addresses
to coordinates). You need to use the Geocoder if all you have is the
address.
