I still don't know what you want. Repeating the same text doesn't make it any clearer. Do you want the text "BELFAST, MAINE" to appear on the map? To do that you would need to use something like Mike Williams' elabel extension. Do you want a marker to appear at the coordinates the geocoder returns for "Belfast, Maine"? I thought that was what you wanted originally, but apparently not... -- Larry > > Thanks! > > --Jason > > On Feb 4, 8:18 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Feb 4, 5:10 pm, jandreoni <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Thanks for the response, but this still isn't the information I am > > > looking for. > > > > This link:http://econym.org.uk/gmap/custom.htm > > > is for creating the actual graphic for a custom marker.
