I have followed two different tutorials for my google map, one to run the map from a MySQL database, and another to style the map.
I’m having trouble combining the two of them, I haven’t got much experience with javascript…
the code i have for the map working with the database is:
you can see this map here

can anybody help me combine the two, or point me in the right direction.
thanks in advance

The first script is using the javascript api v2 and the second the javascript api v3.
So it is not possible to combine the two.You should begin with basics and post here any further questions
