I am still playing with your code. saw the co-ordinates move to a 0,0. so trying to figure that part out.

Oh and you could also create style icons instead of placemarks if you wanted to ( that way you can separate/represent different request types with different icons )

PS: something (or somebody) does not want to keep the <= characters together – I added a warning in the code and need to figure out what keeps on inserting that extra space …

There is small typo in the code though. not really a typo more of a space.

here ip_start < = $val
should be
here ip_start <= $val

otherwise we get
here ip_start select country_code from ip_group_city where ip_start < = 14203352 order by ip_start desc limit 1;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘= 14203352 order by ip_start desc limit 1′ at line 1
