Centering the map

Centering the map

I am using php/mysql. I have a recordset showing a number of locations scattered around quite a wide area. I would like the map to open centered on a convenient physical location (a specific town) but not any of the recordset locations.
Is this possible?

in addition to adding the recordset loop in the map, add another static address, leave out the street address and enter the City, state, country info for where you would like the map to be initially centered, at set that address as the default.

Flag showing

Hi

I've done what you said and it is all OK except for the fact that I get a flag for the centered position. I think it might be due to the code in the wagmp file:

var address_1 = {
street: '',
city: 'Richmond',
state: 'North Yorkshire',
zip: 'DL10 4QN',
country: '',
infowindow: 'default',
infowindowtext: '<span style="font: 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;"><?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "<strong>Address:</strong><br />Victoria Road<br />Richmond, North Yorkshire DL10 4QN"); ?></span>',
full: 'Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL10 4QN',
isdefault: true,
addressType: 'address',
loop: '',
latitude: '',
longitude: '',
markerStyle: 'Google Traditional (flat)',
markerColor: 'Pacifica'
};

Can I amend this to get rid of the centered location flag?

Many thanks

just above the address section is a section to create the icon named:
var icon_1 = new GIcon();

comment the first 2 items in the Icon array:
//icon_1.image = 'plugins/google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_pacifica.png';
//icon_1.shadow = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_shadow.png';
