I have actually done exactly that Karen, and last night was able to successfully have a filter applied. It is not exactly how I want it (I would like to setup something similar to the acehardware.com store locator, but for now I'm satisfied with the one I was able to create.
Karen, we talked before, though, about the "more details" page of my site zooming to the correct location but not having a marker... I believe you mentioned your site has a similar setup. Would you mind sharing the link? Mine is at http://byebyewithbaby.com/locations.php?location_number=500 just for example. I did not set it up using the API, but just an iframed google map with dynamic coordinates. I'd like to see how to get the API to work with this so I could set it up so users could perform a new search from this page. Is there a certain bit of code to have the map load a specific location? Maybe pass it the address with a .0001 radius or something?
