Cant get markers on google api

I am using the gem "geocoder" to get the lang and long from a address but I cant seem to be able to get a marker on my map
- lat_long = Geocoder.coordinates(Mode.full_address).to_s.gsub('[', '').gsub(']', '')
%script{:src => "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp"}
:javascript
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(#{lat_long})
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
This places the map where it should be but it does not give me a marker

Add a google.maps.Marker.
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(#{lat_long})
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
// Create a marker on map center
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Adding Marker to Google Map

I'm creating a map using the Javascript API, and I'm having some trouble getting the markers to show up.
I've followed this tutorial to create the map, which works well:
https://developers.google.com/maps/tutorials/fundamentals/adding-a-google-map
I've then followed this tutorial to add the marker, but it's not loading:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/marker-simple
Here's my code now:
<script>
function initialize() {
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var map_options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(43.643296, -79.408475),
zoom: 15,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options, marker);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title:"Hello World!" });
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>

This line
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options, marker);
is wrong. mapconstructor has only two arguments. It should be
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options);
And myLatlng is not defined. So, you can change your code to:
function initialize() {
myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(43.643296, -79.408475);
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map');
var map_options = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 15,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title:"Hello World!" });
}

Google maps api marker not showing

I can not get the marker to show up on the map. Can anyone help me find out what is wrong that would be a huge help?
Here is the code:
function initialize() {
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(33.748995, -84.387982);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 11,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, mapOptions);
TestMarker();
}
// Function for adding a marker to the page.
function addMarker(location) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
// Testing the addMarker function
function TestMarker() {
Atlanta = new google.maps.LatLng(33.748995, -84.387982);
addMarker(Atlanta);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

You appear to be missing the var keyword in front of the marker and Atlanta variables. To fix, I would also declare the map, marker and Atlanta variables outside of the initialize() function in the global space, so they are accessible to other functions. Try this:
var map;
var marker;
var Atlanta;
function initialize() {
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(33.748995, -84.387982);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 11,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, mapOptions);
TestMarker();
}
// Function for adding a marker to the page.
function addMarker(location) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
// Testing the addMarker function
function TestMarker() {
Atlanta = new google.maps.LatLng(33.748995, -84.387982);
addMarker(Atlanta);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

How to set marker in google map using javascript

I am using the below javascript code to show map and marker.The marker is loading while map load,but i want to load the marker if the button named "Add marker" is clicked.The marker should points to the current location.How to do this here.
js.
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
function updateMarkerStatus(str) {
document.getElementById('markerStatus').innerHTML = str;
}
function updateMarkerPosition(latLng) {
document.getElementById('info').innerHTML = [
latLng.lat(),
latLng.lng()
].join(', ');
}
function updateMarkerAddress(str) {
document.getElementById('address').innerHTML = str;
}
function initialize() {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-29.3456, 151.4346);
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mapCanvas'), {
zoom: 8,
center: latLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
title: 'Marker',
map: map,
draggable: true
});
};
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
html
<div id="mapCanvas"></div>
Thanks

please try this. hope it help.
1. make map as global variable.
2. initialize map
3. add marker on button click event.
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mapCanvas'), {
zoom: 8,
center: latLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
};
jQuery("$addmarker").click(function(){
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(23.72, 72.100),
title: 'Marker',
map: map,
draggable: true
});
})
</script>
Here is my complete sample code.
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initialize()
{
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng('23.11', '71.00'),
zoom: 2,
scrollwheel: false,
disableDefaultUI: false,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),mapOptions);
}
function addMarker()
{
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(23.72, 72.100),
map: map,
});
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="initialize();">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:700px; height:500px;"></div>
<input type="button" id="addMarker" value="addMarker" onclick="addMarker();"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>

data is array which contains lat and lng
function addMarker(data) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng),
map: map
});

You need to put the part:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
[...]
});
inside a onclick event listener.
The jQuery way to do this with a button element:
$('button').on('click', function() {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
[...]
});
});
You have to think about making the variables map and latLng global.

var map; // Declare map as global.
function initialize() {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-29.3456, 151.4346);
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mapCanvas'), {
zoom: 8,
center: latLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
}
// Call addMarker on click of the button.
function addMarker(){
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-29.3456, 151.4346); // Put lat long as desired.
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
title: 'Marker',
map: map,
draggable: true
});
}

Marker not adding to my map

Trying to add a marker to a google map on a contact page I've created. Map renders fine but marker does not appear. Heres my code:
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-43.51187,172.621192);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
NSMarker();
}
// Function for adding a marker to the page.
function addMarker(location) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
// Add Marker Location
function NSMarker() {
NSArchitects = new google.maps.LatLng(-43.51187,172.621192);
addMarker(NSArchitects);
}

declare var map outside of initialize() function
var map; // declare globel
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-43.51187,172.621192);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
NSMarker();
}
function addMarker(location) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
// Add Marker Location
function NSMarker() {
NSArchitects = new google.maps.LatLng(-43.51187,172.621192);
addMarker(NSArchitects);
}
