Hi All,

I am working on a project where I extract addresses from our SQL
Server databases and need to use markers to display them on a google
map...

I do not have the latitude and longitude of the addresses and I was
thinking of using the GClientGeoCoder GetLocations() method.. but cant
find a super straightforward example... (I am using xml which is
created dynamically when the page loads)..

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated .. thanks!

+Geocoding Strategies
+An overview of different strategies you can use for making sure you
stay within the Google Maps API geocoding +limits. This is a good
article to read if you find you are frequently running into the quota
limits of the Maps API +Geocoders.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/geocodestrat.html

You might think about using server side geocoding and storing the
coordinates in your database to avoid running into the quota and rate
limits. Just be sure you comply with the terms of use by updating
them periodically.
