    <p>Would really appreciate any help with my issue. I've been looking at this terrific tutorial by Marcin Dziewulski who integrated recent tweets and twitter user avatars onto a Google Map. Basically he places the users avatar where they last tweeted. I highly recommend checking the tutorial out here:</p> <p><a href="http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/04/13/interactive-google-map/" rel="nofollow">http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/04/13/interactive-google-map/</a></p> <p>It all seems to make sense except when it comes down to the actual geocoding of the user. The code works beautifully when the different tweeters are from different cities. However, let's say you wanted to track certain users in one city. They're all geocoded from the center of the city and you can only see one avatar at a time. If you refresh the page, another one will show up, in the exact same spot. This obviously isn't what I want. I assume the problems is in this bit of code:</p> <pre><code>var users = o.twitter.get(), arr = new Array; for (i in users){ var user = users[i]; $.getJSON('http://twitter.com/users/show/'+user+'.json?callback=?', function(data) { var img = data.profile_image_url, screen_name = data.screen_name; geocoder.geocode({ address: data.location }, function(response, status){ if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) { var x = response[0].geometry.location.lat(), y = response[0].geometry.location.lng(); marker = new google.maps.Marker({ icon: img, map: map, title: screen_name, position: new google.maps.LatLng(x, y) }); </code></pre> <p>I think something needs to change in the geocoder.geocode({ address: data.location } bit of code, but not 100% positive. I can't seem to find the solution in the Twitter API documentation either. </p> <p>My question is basically this...can the code above be altered so that it gathers more precise lat and long. coordinates from where tweets are actually generated and then display them correctly at those locations? In other words, don't just put a tweet from NYC in the middle of NYC, but place the avatar at the EXACT location. </p> <p>I've tested this with my own tweets, with the the location feature of twitter enabled. I just can't figure this out! Thanks again to anyone who can help!</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Brandon</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
