How Can I add Latitude, Longitude dynamically in Javascript?

Add marker to map when button is clicked?

• I have been trying to figure this out for weeks but i am really stuck. I am trying to add a marker to a google map only when the user clicks the add marker button calling the addMarker function. The problem that i am having is that i cant figure out how to get this to work without passing the addMarker function into the show map function because if i do that the marker shows automatically. my showMap function is : function showMap(coords) { var googleCoords = new google.maps.LatLng(coords.latitude, coords.longitude); var mapOptions = { zoom: 14, center: googleCoords, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP } var mapDiv = document.getElementById("map"); map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, mapOptions); } and my addMarker function is : function addMarker(map, googleCoords) { var markerOptions = { position: googleCoords, map: map, title: "marker 1", content: = "Latitude: " + coords.latitude + ", Longitude: " + coords.longitude;, clickable: true } var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions); var infoWindowOptions = { content: content, position: googleCoords } var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(infoWindowOptions… google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function() { infoWindow.open(map) })); to be clear i only want the marker to show up on the map if the user clicks the show map button...any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I would say that.... there is no way to make that since there is no such command available.... Good luck!
