### Simple example. Adding two markers to a map

You can use an address or latitude and longitude to position a marker on a map using the `data` attribute.

```html
<div id="simplegmaps-1">
	<div
		class="map-marker"
		data-title="Lorem ipsum"
		data-latlng="55.5897407,13.012268899999981"
	></div>
	<div
		class="map-marker"
		data-title="Remi"
		data-address="Remi 145 W 53rd St, New York, NY, United States"
	></div>
</div>
```

```javascript
simplegmaps.init({
	container: "#simplegmaps-1",
});
```
