Hi all, I'm currently working on a project which involves plotting lots of custom markers onto a map, then creating a popup page when clicked. This problem i'm having, being a newbie at javascript is getting a second marker image showing on the map. So far, i have the following code, as you see, the 'camera' icons work... but needing the 'caltex' to work also...:

Thanks in advance

A: 

Looks like you encapsulated the marker logic into setMarkers() so that you could call it once for each type of marker. However you only call it once. You need to

setMarkers(map, webcams);
setMarkers(map, caltex);
