Marker File Structure
GMap Marker Files are text files in a CSV structure that contain a set locations that can be mapped/displayed as a set.
Some marker files are provided as examples. More generally, the idea is for GMap users to develop their own marker files.
The marker file mckinneyisd.csv is included with the GMaps setup. This file is comprised of records corresponding to schools in McKinney ISD, TX. To illustrate, the first three records of the file are shown below. Each marker record contains several elements/field values separated by ";" which is the CSV delimiter.
