Hi Ray,
try to place the code after the initialization script, to clarify that I call a function named google_buildmap() located in

/lib/google_maps/js/google_maps.js

from the main init function.

My question: - where exactly do you place your short Javascript code, in a standard page with a Google Map? (can you give a simple example?). I tried looking at the source code of your demo page, but could not find your JS code anywhere, (needed to perform "the magic"). Grazie!! Ray SF Hi Giancarlo,

Liked the idea in your blog post:
“How to find the right point in Google Maps
(longitude and latitude)”.

My question:
- where exactly do you place your short Javascript code,
in a standard page with a Google Map?
(can you give a simple example?).

I tried looking at the source code of your demo page,
but could not find your JS code anywhere, (needed to perform “the magic”).

Grazie!!

The situation with the client on the phone explaining me where to put the marker is exactly what I am trying to avoid :-) Thank you very much for the code!

I suppose the map fails to load even if you don't use it in debug mode, so it could be a simple syntax error somewhere. Could you try uncomment it (or create another page with the code uncommented) so we can try to debug it? It would be very interesting, indeed.

Because in the article I don't mention the zoom feature. The notation for zooming here in Italy is not different from the international standard. There's even the lucky (for me!) event that you found an error in the live example! Did you experience inverted zooming on the live example? Where you using the scroller of the mouse or the controls on screen? If you're using the scroller, what mouse do you have? What is your browser? You mean in the live example?

I found this confusing. Is it because you are in Italia? The zoom in/out directions are the opposite of Google maps. I found this confusing. Is it because you are in Italia?
