Posted: August 26th, 2008, 2:41am CEST by Buster

Hello,

I've been able to hard code the lat/lng for a marker, but the marker

function(point) {
if (!point) {
alert(address + " not found");

Hi all,

I am developing a Google maps application where I put a marker on the
map based on a provided address. The marker is movable and I expect
the user to place the marker on the correct spot on the map in case
the lat / lng query was inaccurate (this is mostly due to incomplete
addresses on the database).
