  • Answer:

    This is likely due to the Google API throttling the number of queries you can make. If you ask it for locations of addresses too quickly then it will deny you after the first few requests. I see you've tried to get around this with your timer() function, but the way you've written it won't actually delay the while loop (Javascript will set the timer then happily continue to the next iteration of the loop). What you need to do is bring the calls to the API inside the code that gets called by setTimeout, like this: function placeMarker(i) { var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address"), html = markers[i].getAttribute("html"); showAddress(map,geocoder,address,html); if (++i <= 18) { setTimeout( function() { placeMarker(i); }, 1000 ); } } placeMarker(0);
