            var map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById("map"));

                if (latlng) {
                    var mark = new GMarker(latlng);
                    allMarks.push(latlng);

                data: gmap
            });
        }
    </script>

Assuming that you just need to do this once, and not geocode arbitrary locations on the fly, then all you have to do is replace the coordinates in

map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);

with your own coordinates and zoom level. You can easily find the lat/lon for a location manually in a variety of ways – I like getlatlon.com.

Was that really your question? If you need to take an arbitrary address, e.g. based on user input, and center the map there, you might want to look at Google’s geocoding API.
