I pass all the required variables for $map and the map shows up great EXCEPT the location marker doesn't show up. Anyone else having this problem or know how to address this? Thanks.

i finally got the location marker to show but i cant get an info window to open. Some advise would be great. attached below is the code i changed to get it to work. Its probably a bug: I wouldnt have a clue how to fix it but if its just a work around you are looking for here goes:.

<?php

 
$mymarkers
=array(
                 array(
                      
'label' => 'BLAH BLAH',
                      
'latitude' => '40.0',
                      
'longitude'=> '-168.0'
                       
)
                                 );

$mymap=array('id' => 'mymap',
            
'latitude' => $node->location['latitude'],
            
'longitude'=> $node->location['longitude'],
            
'zoom' => 14,
            
'width' => '100%',
            
'height' => '400px',
            
'type' => 'Map',
            
'markers' => $mymarkers);
             
echo
theme('gmap', array('#settings' => $mymap));
?>

yES I KNOW IT LOOKS STUPID BUT THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO WORK WAS BY PUTING IT IN ANOTHER ARRAY.
SORRry about the caps its 4:38 in the morning and i am really tiered.
Best of luck: if you come up with a solution for the label please let me know, it woud be much appreciated.
Cheers

Haha good thing i stayed awake longer. Figured it out. Google maps displays tooltips and popups. Instead of a tool tip i found what a pop was defined as in the array.
So in the above code replace:
'label' with 'text'

That should do the trick.
Best of luck.

Unfortunately I haven't found a solution. I will definitely be searching this weekend. If I find a fix I'll post it here.

Haha. I went to the URL in my e-mail to reply without checking this page first. I can't wait to fix my site! It seems weird that you have to put the long and lat twice: once for the markers, and once for the map. You have been very helpful. Thanks.

Lol! I know what you mean about implementing it. I was pretty excited when i figured it out.
well yes about referring to long and lat twice its so that you can you can have a marker and the center of the map. In my case the marker is the center of the map.

Let me know how you went with the site.

All the possible marker keys need to be documented properly.
