I'm not much of a Javascript guru. I know PHP/Mysql and HTML very well. But I am having a hell of a hard time with implementing google maps in my site. Basically my site you visit and you can click on a business listing which will pull open a full page of the business, that has some info and the address of the business. What I am trying to accomplish is show a little google map with a blip showing the business on the map. I guess I'm hung up on the GeoCoder converting the address to LatLng. Anyone have a working example of code that I might be able to integrate? I havent' had any luck the with examples from googles site, and the tuturials are very confusing to me. 0.o
If you use Dreamweaver, there's a very good extension available that can code the map for you. It can even add dynamic maps via a database. It's called Pro Maps for Google. You can view how the database integration works on this California car insurance quotes site. Just go to the "Find an agent" menu tab, pick a random city, pick a random agency listing and click "More info and map". Then scroll to the bottom of the next page and you'll see how the map is dynamically generated from the database info.
