The geocoder is asynchronous. You can call it in the initialize (which I assume is an onload function), but the results won't be available until the server sends them back and the call back function runs. I will admit this is a technicality, but you can't do anything useful to the map (like adding markers) until after is initialized by the first setCenter call). > This is the geocoding function i am using, is there a way to nest > this into the initialize function or is there a better way to do what > i am trying to do?
