Using jQuery plugin gMap from http://gmap.nurtext.de/.

I can’t understand why the first (commented out) call works and shows the map correctly
but the second one (dynamically built) doesn’t work. The second one shows a map but with no markers and zoomed out all the way.

    I am building the markers in a success function from an ajax call like this:

    success: function(data) {
  var markers = { controls: true, scrollwheel: true, markers: [], zoom: 8 };
  $.each(data["events"], function(id, event) {
    // .. do other stuff with the data
    if(showmap) {
      // add location to maps list prevent multiples
      marker1 = { latitude: event['LocLatitude'],
                  longitude:event['LocLongitude'],
                  html: '"'+event['LocName']+'<br />'+event['LocAddress']+'<br />'+event['LocCity']+', '+event['LocState']+'"',
                  icon:{image: "/images/gmap_pin_orange.png",
                        iconsize: [26, 46],
                        iconanchor: [12,46],
                        infowindowanchor: [12, 0]
                       }
                };
      markers.markers.push(marker1);
    } // if(showmap)
  } // $.each(data["events"]
}, // success:

    and then call it like this:

    $("#course_map").gMap(markers);
