Been on this for a while now, I need to make the map height 100% of its container. And also keep it centred when its resizing.
I have tried nearly all of the examples on here with no avail..
The code example below shows what I am using, there's markers and infowindows in there and also custom marker symbols too. I don't get any errors in the console.
<script type="text/javascript">
var markers = [
{
"title": 'xxxxx School',
"lat": '53.004758',
"lng": '-2.241232',
"description": '<br/><a href="http://www.google.com">View more info</a>',
"type": 'UK Independent School'
},
{
"title": 'xxxxx Prep',
"lat": '51.470123',
"lng": '-0.209838',
