How do you create a map in OpenStreetMap?
It will create a map in the div #map, and set the default coordinates and zoom. The function add_map_point (lat, lng) can be called any time after the initial map loads. You can pass it two parameters – a latitude and longitude, and it will place a little red dot on the map in that location. Keep calling this function to add more and more dots.
