This thread is worth a read: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-maps-js-api-v3/GP4tZLPt_vc/discussion The function called in your for loop (getCoordinates) is then calling the geocoder and returning immediately to the for loop, because the call to the geocoder is an asynchronous call with a callback function. The browser isn't going to wait for the geocoder call to be completed before moving on.
In general it's a bad practice to use the Javascript geocoder in a loop like this. Depending on how many locations are in your array, you could quickly send too many requests over a very short period of time, and Google will start rejecting requests. You're better off geocoding your locations in advance with the web services geocoder, then using the Javascript APIs to display those locations using lat/lng values. I didn't see any checks in your callback function for when status != 'OK'. My guess is that you're getting rejections but don't know because you're not checking: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#GeocodingStatusCodes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
