Thanks! I will read it tomorrow to understand it better. I'm to tired right now.
I did a version before where I placed the locations into an array like you describe, but in the end I had problems with the infoWindow using the same object, which didn't look nice because the previous content displayed for a short moment. I just want to star with a simple code to understan it all and then advance and create smarter and better code.
