title: How can I point out a specific location in Google Maps?
body: <p>How can I point out a specific location in Google Maps? I tried to look at the questions before but I didn't find anything that could "help" me. </p>
  
  <p><strong>JavaScript</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
    function initialize() {
      var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map');
      var mapOptions = {
        center: new google.maps.LatLng(58.393584, 15.566656),
        zoom: 17,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
      }
      var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions)
    }
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>CSS</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>#map {       
  width: 500px;
  height: 400px;
  float: left;
  margin: 10px;
  margin-top: 15px;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(Ignore the <code>margin</code> and <code>float</code>), it does zoom in onto the location but how can I add a pointer to it? Would an image of a pointer do? Might be a newbie question, but thanks if you can help me. </p>
