For simplicity sake, lets use the XML example on Econym's site.
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_map3.htm
Once clicked, I would like
icon balloon to be displayed in the middle of the map.
What might I need to add to Mike's code to get this to work? I apologize for asking a lot..
Thanks in advance.
