google map api help

hello all,

I would like to make a map to a business. I would like a marker that will indicate the location of the business.

Currently, it will only display the area the marker should be. Here is the code I currently have.

Code:

  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

  <div id="mapsearch">
    <span style="color:#676767;font-size:11px;margin:10px;padding:4px;">One Moment</span>
  </div>

    #mapsearch {

            activeMapZoom : GSmapSearchControl.ACTIVE_MAP_ZOOM+1
            }

      new GSmapSearchControl(
            document.getElementById("mapsearch"),
            "319 First Colonial Road Virginia Beach, Virginia 23454",
            options
            );

    }
    // arrange for this function to be called during body.onload

hi,

if you carefully look at google map api documentation at google site. they explained it clearly and extremely well. So you can easily put marker,
Longitude and Latitude is what you need to see there
