I wanted to get opinions on what is the best way to allow a user to input their location and retrieve a map with markers of my database locations.
I found the tutorial here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch_v3.html that uses xml to create the markers. However many other tutorials I find use a .json file to load markers, yet I can't ever find a database tutorial to create the markers using the json_encode function in php. I'm currently working with the xml version, as it was the best tutorial I could find for querying a database. But I am finding issues with IE and the way it parse's xml. I'm also finding for some reason that the more nodes I have the xml generate, the more likely the application doesn't work. Kind of weird? Any thoughts on this topic would be helpful in deciding my further development! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
