var address = "Tolarbag Mosque Road, Dhaka, Dhaka Division, Bangladesh";
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
 
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
    var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
var myCenter=new google.maps.LatLng(latitude,longitude);
       function initialize()
{
var mapProp = {
  center:myCenter,
  zoom:7,
  mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
 
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),mapProp);
 
var marker=new google.maps.Marker({
  position:myCenter,
  });
 
marker.setMap(map);
