Question

This is the link that i was using for google map with one marker on a specific latitude and longitude. But with this code, i get two markers. An arrow on specific address i wanted and a pin at the center of the town or city of that address. May i know what is wrong here? I want just one pin on specific address, not on the city center. This is for asp.net application.

Google Maps tries to mark any other noteworthy places in the area. There are a couple methods you can use to stop this.
One method is to add loc: to your GPS query like this:

You can do the same thing but add a description to the label by adding [desc]@ like this:
