Re: [Google Maps API v2] map page with geocoding not working as expected.

This
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/async.htm
is very relevant.

You need to do stuff in the callback, rather than just 'after' the
function. change side_bar actully in the createMarker function.

You should read this too.
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geomulti.htm


However if this is your first map, you really SHOULDN'T be using v2 of
the Maps API. It been withdrawn, and due to be turned off.

http://www.geocodezip.com/ has many of Mikes tutorials converted to v3.
