Geocoding Google Maps in Wordpress not working

I want to use the title of a Wordpress post (a location) to become a visible marker on a Google map. This code from Google works fine to show a map (without marker):
<script>function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(44.5403, -78.5463),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions)
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);</script>
However, when I try to implement the geocoding part the map doesn't show. The two solutions I've tried:
Solution 1
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 16,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(54.00, -3.00),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var address = '3410 Taft Blvd Wichita Falls, TX 76308';
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
// ]]></script>

Solution 2:
var geocoder;
var map;
var address = "San Diego, CA";
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: latlng,
mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU
},
navigationControl: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), myOptions);
if (geocoder) {
geocoder.geocode({
'address': address
}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
if (status != google.maps.GeocoderStatus.ZERO_RESULTS) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: '<b>' + address + '</b>',
size: new google.maps.Size(150, 50)
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map,
title: address
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
} else {
alert("No results found");
}
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
2014, December 4, Using Address Instead Of Longitude And Latitude With Google Maps API
What am I doing wrong or not seeing?
EDIT: changes map to map-canvas in getElementByID, but still doesn't work.
EDIT 2: through an iframe it works (but you can't move in the map, only scroll)
<iframe width="195" height="195" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.ca/maps?center=<?php the_title('Groningen'); ?>&q=<?php the_title('Groningen'); ?>&size=195x195&output=embed&iwloc=near"></iframe>enter code here

working example.........http://jsfiddle.net/vezkvkve/1/
html:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script>
<input type="text" id="mapaddress" />

not geting address with help of lat and long in google map

i am trying to get address using reverse geocoding.
but there is some problem in geocoder.geocode({...}) line. even normal alert message also not display.
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 11,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(23.0171240, 72.5330533),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),mapOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(e) {
placeMarker(e.latLng, map);
var input=e.latLng;
var lat = parseFloat(input.lat());
var lng = parseFloat(input.lng());
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
alert(results[1].formatted_address);
}
});
});
}
function placeMarker(position, map) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
map.panTo(position);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

add below line inside initialize() function.
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

Retrieve address from HTML element and create Google Map with it

I have an element on my page which I have assigned the ID 'address' to:
<p id="address">1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, United States</p>
Now I am trying to create a Google map from it using the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gecoder, map;
var address = document.getElementById('address').innerHTML;
function googlemap(address) {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: results[0].geometry.location,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
}
});
}
</script>
However this returns nothing. I get a blank. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

This is what I did and it works. JavaScript in the head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var geocoder, map;
function googlemap() {
var address = document.getElementById('address').innerHTML;
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var myPosition = results[0].geometry.location;
alert(myPosition);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: myPosition,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: myPosition
});
} else {
alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
}
});
}
</script>
The body:
<body onload="googlemap()">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<p id="address">1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, United States</p>
<div id="map" style="overflow:hidden; width:400px; height:400px"></div>
</div>
</form>

Google maps zoom level for country

I'm having a problem working out how to set the zoom level for different countries, I have managed to get the map working and displaying the country, just cannot seem to work out how to set the zoom level.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

From the documentation on the Geocoder, there is a viewport and a bounds returned in the geocoder's response which can be used to center and zoom the map on the result.
if (results && results[0] && results[0].geometry && results[0].geometry.viewport)
map.fitBounds(results[0].geometry.viewport);
