You have added the add marker method call outside the function and that causes it to execute before the initialize method which will be called when google maps script loads and thus the marker is not added because map is not initialized Do as below     Create separate method TestMarker and call it from initialize    lt script type  text javascript  gt          Standard google maps function     function initialize             var myLatlng   new google maps LatLng 40 779502  -73 967857           var myOptions                 zoom  12              center  myLatlng              mapTypeId  google maps MapTypeId ROADMAP                   map   new google maps Map document getElementById  map canvas    myOptions           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                CentralPark   new google maps LatLng 37 7699298  -122 4469157              addMarker CentralPark          lt  script gt
