In this example we’ll take a look at another integration of Google Maps along with a custom marker map icon.  The goal was to easily show visitors to the AND.com website where they could purchase the companies new line of basketball shoes.

View AND1.com retail store locations

A database contains the retail locations that currently sell the AND1 shoes.  In this application we pull that information into the map along with some basic information for the retail outlet.  In addition to initially pulling all the locations, we offer the user the ability to search by state, city or zip code.  We can even narrow the zip code search to a proximity range by geo-coding the zip codes into longitude and latitude coordinate.

This application programmed by myself, Craig Van Sant.
