This is part of the Step by Step Guides to get started with some of the more complex topics on this site. The full story on marker parameters can be found at Complete Excel Address Data with Google Mapping API

To be able to modify parameters according to How to put markers on maps
All Mapping activities, are controlled by 2 parameter sheets. One is general, and tells the procedures how to deal with the data returned from the various mapping providers (geoCodingParameters worksheet) and the other is specific to particular sets of data or desired results (in this case ‘step by step parameters’)
GeoCoding Parameters
Filenames can also be set here. These are the names of the .html files to generate. For example, this specifies where to put any KML files that you choose to generated and where to put them
The javaScript and html code framework used when generating web pages are also stored here. I recommend that you do not change these unless you are very comfortable with javaScript, Html, CSS and have read and understood Tailoring Output
No more steps. That’s all the parameters that apply to geoCoding and Mapping
All the parameters needed to support How to Geocode addresses using Google Maps and How to put markers on maps are now related to your data.
Read more about the detail of how all this works and walk through the source code at Mapping and adding markers to maps or see some more Step by Step Guides (see below for the full list of topics).
