Load markers dynamically while the page is loading

Question

is it possible to initialise a google map and then load the pins dynamically on it? What I would like is a map where....as soon as the data is available, its marker pops up. I am on a situation where the data come quite slowely so...it would me nice to give a feedback showing this partial results while the rest of the data come.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

is it possible to initialise a google map and then load the pins dynamically on it? Yes, use AJAX to load the markers (note, that link is to a page from Mike Williams' v2 tutorial, that API is deprecated, but the same concepts apply to the current v3 API).
