Thanks for helping out, so I followed your suggestion of doing a
reverse geocode when dropping the marker, such as:
markerLocation = reverseGeocode(marker.getPosition());
alert(markerLocation.city);
However, markerLocation is always null, even though within the
reverseGeocode function, the city is being populated properly. I am
assuming this is because JS doesn't wait for the AJAX request to be
completed, and just continues executing the rest of the code. Any
idea on how to solve this?
