Hey guys!
I have seen some of you have asked about how to map addresses from a database using Google Maps API. I also spent some days trying to figuring it out.
I even tried to follow Google’s documentation on how to do it but I just couldn’t get it to work that easily. after several days i finally got it to work.
I just wrote some instructions on how to do it and i thought id share it with you.

If you have any questions or trouble following the instructions please let me know.

yes it is, but since i dont know much about javascript and object oriented programming, it took me a good while to figure it out.

This would serve its purpose well in Source/Experiments, or you can submit it for tutorial review to Kirupa, though you might want to go into more detail about how the code works if you choose that route. 🙂
