I thought I was clear in my original post, but perhaps not enough. Yes, I would like the address that the user is searching against to appear on the map as well. It just so happens that the green arrow I mentioned in my original post was just an example I was using. The graphic itself is not a concern at this point, I just want to get the address on the map.
>From my previous post: "So on this page: http://midwivesofmaine.org/storeLocator/locator.html If you type in say "BELFAST, MAINE", you get your search results on the left side bar and on the map. I know that the geocoding done to create the search is there, but what I don't know how to do is actually get "BELFAST, MAINE" to appear on the map" Belfast, Maine was just an example in relation to the addresses I have stored in my DB.
