As I've previously stated, BELFAST MAINE is just an example. I want a
marker to appear at the coordinates the geocoder returns for "belfast,
maine". I cannot figure out how to do that, period. The previous links
were for how to get a CUSTOM ICON.
I said that in my previous post (" I would like the address that the
user is searching against to appear on the map as well. ").
Can we please work on a solution here? Do you know how to do this?
Anyone?
Thanks
