Javascript Help – Google Maps API3 Coding

[TurksMeister]

I am trying to be cleverer than I need to be, and come across some code which I don’t understand and hoping someone can shed some light. I have created the code below which is meant to show the location of potential ice-cream parlors in the North of England. I can get them to individually display if I type the same code 5 times, but want to make it cleaner than that. Google uses the following – but do not understand what the i++ stuff means (and obviously Google doesn’t help!) can someone shed some light, or point me in the direction of a good resource?

 for (var i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {

var city = locations;

var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(city[1], city[2]);

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

position: myLatLng,

map: map,

shadow: shadow,

icon: image,

shape: shape,

title: city[0],

zIndex: city[3]

});

Where this is the full code:

src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyBdLpdNtBopewQfcN08ywhMcotCTS5AmOQ&&sensor=false">

Aha – its a loop! And that would make sense too… might be able to work this out myself… maybe!

Im an idiot – I left some code at the bottom which was buggering it up – fixed now!

        var mylatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.507359, -0.26797730);

var myMarkerOptions = {

position: mylatlng,

map: mymap

}

var marker = new google.maps.Marker(myMarkerOptions);

Yep – I am teaching myself to be a techie! Exciting stuff!

And I have a rather amazing lady friend who I see more often than Max see’s his wife… what with his 646 hours and 22 mins playing time! That’s a casual 26 days full time!

So, if I’m in Leeds and fancy an ice cream, you’re the man to speak to. You still need some boobies.

[Alzir]

Not many ice cream parlours about.
