Hello
I would like to be able to add links to the points I have added into google maps, I have found the pdf for adding them by Address however I have entered mine in by coordinates. could someone please post a sample of what the code should look like for making a link by using coordinates.
Thanks

It should be the same just using the coordinates instead of the address. What part is confusing?

Below is an example copy from WebAssist website
Example: If the location I wanted my map to focus on was 8899 University Center Ln, this text would look as follows.
<a href="#" onClick="wagmp_map_1_obj.getPointByAddress ('8899 University Center Ln').marker.openInfoWindowHtml (wagmp_map_1_obj.getPointByAddress('8899 University Center Ln').address.infowindowtext);"">8899 University Center Ln </a>
I have tried putting in the coordinates instead of the physical address ('36.600986,-118.051518') and it does not work

Do you have a sample URL where I can view it? I might be able to figure it out.

on the locations sidebar I have all locations in Inyo County added into pro maps the link is for Lone Pine, when I click it it just appends the # to the end of the url.

It looks liek the function getPointByAddress will only check the street information by default.
If you want to check another field you need to specify the field to check... I think this would work:
getPointByAddress(''36.600986,-118.051518'',"full")
by adding the "full" argument it will know this is the full coordinate set and not the street.

Thank you, for the quick responses, adding the 'full' aurgument worked.
