Markers

Hi Guys,

I really need a full and proper answer from you to this issue of markers not displaying, because at the moment it is not working reliably. If you know your MAP EXTENSION doesn't work reliably then appreciate knowing this as I can spend my time trying to source a solution with Google. If, as I hope, it does work reliably then I really need a detailed TO DO LIST from you on what needs checking and what needs changing to ensure that the right number of markers display consistently.

Just to recap. If you go to www.atac.org.uk and use the Find A Member search form for say "Yorkshire, West" you will see 12 members listed in the left column and on the Google Map you will see anything from 9 - 12 markers for these same members.

I have just ran a test by searching for "Glamorgan" - 5 out 6 markers show ; "Essex" - 10 out of 13 arkers show ; "Yorkshire, West" - 10 out of 12 markers show ; Yorkshire, South" - 6 out 6 markers show. If I run this test again I would get slightly different results. Clearly there is something going on which is a not working 100% reliably.

The search web page that displays the results uses the same database table and strored procedure to retrieve the data for both the list and the map. I have executed the map stored procedure on the server with a variety of input parameters and it works perfectly, i.e. retrurns the correct number of records. The problem then is not with the recordset or stored procedure. I have pasted below the ASP code that shows the 2 stored procedure in the search results page below.

The only other file used is your asp include file. I have pasted the code for this below as well.

I would be most grateful if you could provide me with a detailed set of instruction on resolving this problem. ATAC are a very important client of mine I need this working 100%.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and appreciate your help.
