Google maps, jQuery and XML – displaying a simple navigation

After I wrote my last example yesterday, I just realized, how easy you can add a simple navigation to your map, whereas after you click on the link an information window will be provided right above the according marker. I think it's a nice way to provide your visitors a possibility to choose what they want to see instead of randomly clicking on markers to find out what are they displaying. This time I will also show, how you can easily create an XML document using DomDocument class, which should be installed by default in your PHP5 version, which we will later use to display the markers.
