All I want to do is to be able to add markers with info windows with predefined location and window text. I am attempting to modify the example google gives (which uses a for statement with 10 random markers) and so far I am only able to display 1 static location, as when I enter the second one it doesn't show up.
The code for google's example is as follows (apologies for the length):
*please make note of the need for an API Key, although if you are developing with google maps I'm sure you already know

Can someone please show me how to break apart that for statement and add 2 locations with hard-coded location and window text.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help, as I am very frustrated that I cannot accomplish what should be such a simple thing
Thank you very much,
Mike
