How to add a possessive punctuation mark in javascript code for a google map description marker?

Q. Hi.
I have been adding customized markers to a google map on my website, in the marker description I need to have a word with a possessive case punctuation. What is the right combination of quotes brackets to achieve this. Adding my single ' quote possessive punctuation mark screws up the whole thing and gives me an error.

A. \'

as in "this is my answer\'s sample\'s text"...

How do you plot latitude and longitude coordinates on google maps?
Q. First of all, do you understand my question? Here's what I am asking. I have a set of geographic coordinates such as Long. W 135 degrees, 40 minutes and Lat. N 45 degrees, 15 minutes. How do I enter those values and make that point appear on my Google map. If one cannot do that then it just shows you how lame Google maps really.

Thanks,

Gary

A. Open Google Map and in the Search Field

Enter Latitude First in Decimal degrees.

45 Degrees 15 Minutes in Decimal Degrees is 45.25 Degrees

Next enter Longitude in Decimal degrees
40 minutes is .6666

so you would enter: 45.25N 135.666W in that format.

If you enter an address and there is a RED TearDrop displayed with a "A: in it marking the location you searched for......Right Click on the RED teardrop and select Whats Here and that will dispaly the Lat Long for that point.


It is in the middle of the ocean.

How does google map work on a non gps phone ?
Q. How does google map show almost accurately your location and position even if you do not have a gps enabled phone ?

A. The phone communicates to cell towers, if it can find 3 towers in range it can tell the distance from each tower and if it knows the location of each tower, the phone can "figure out" where it is. It triangulates its position based on the strength of the cell tower signals.
