Hi,

I am trying to get the current location address in my infoWindow when I click on the marker that points to the current location. I think I need JavaScript to pass to the content field of the infoWindow but I cannot figure it out.

JavaScript

var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
  content: 'You are here'
});
								
							google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', info);						
function info() {
 infoWindow.open(map, marker);
}

Regards!

  function initialize()
  {
      var myOptions = {
      center: latlang,

    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);
 geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': latlang }, function (items, status) {

                    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {

                        map.setZoom(8);

                       var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

                            map: map
                        });

                     infowindow.setContent(items[1].formatted_address);
                         google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {


                infowindow.open(map, this);
