5,455 PointsIn app.js, on line 20, initialize a new marker with the 'map' set to 'theMap' and the 'position' set to 'addressLocation
Can anyone see why the code below does not work?
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({map: theMap, position: addressLocation});
Bummer! The marker wasn't initialized properly. Try using '{map: theMap, position: addressLocation}' in to a 'new google.maps.Marker'

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({map: theMap, position: addressLocation});
I can't see any difference between the two. Maybe try again in case the code challenge was having some problems.
Maybe try copying my code here and pasting that into the code challenge.

5,455 PointsHey thanks a lot! The problem, it turns out, was that I was creating this variable inside the script tag on the HTML as opposed to on the app.js file (very dumb mistake I know). In fact, there is nothing wrong with the code above!

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsThat makes sense. Glad you figured it out.
