I've had another look through, I can't see a way around it (though my
coding is far from expert!) as you need to initialize the map in order
to pull in the geocoded locations. I would set the starting latlng to
(0,0) as that will just flash blue (it's in the middle of the ocean
off africa).
Then you can simplify and centralise your variables a little by
changing it to this;
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var geoloc = results[0].geometry.location;
map.setCenter(geoloc);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: geoloc
});
