Google Maps integration via jQuery

Well I tried everything but no luck.

I removed any PHP just in case and worked with the rendered PHP output.

I checked for any odd formatting or characters in the pre-rendered PHP output of which I found none.

I tried each marker info on it's own, and discovered that the first one is always ignored but again I have no idea why. So I worked round that with dummy marker info at the start. Everything checked out fine.

I also modded the gMap javascript so that there was a delay in processing each marker. That did nothing other than make me wait longer for the test to run lol. I'll say that my javascript knowledge is poor so I was shooting blind.

I ran the gMap script though all versions of jQuery from 1.3 through to 1.4.4, all of which gave me the same fail result.

A search on google for the same problem produced no results.

All I can think of is that somehow the javascript loop that places the markers seems to be out of sync. This would explain why:

A: Markers are random
B: The number of markers shown is roughly the same but does vary. In my case the number of markers is generally no more than 19 (although once it did show a few more). Sometimes it can be as little as 9. It should show 57.

Is it even possible for java to be 'out of sync'?

This is an area I will explore tomorrow.

I also looked for other scripts to do what we need, and to be honest we choose gMap for good reason ;) Looks like I may have to get my hands dirty with the Google Maps V3 API . . . which I loath! lol.
