Hello,  
I’m using [http://ym4r.rubyforge.org](http://ym4r.rubyforge.org) and I have a problem with removing  
existing marker. I tried this (.rjs file):

```auto
if @params[:gobject] == "on"
  @gobject_results.each {|marker| page << @map.addOverlay(marker)}
else
  @gobject_results.each {|marker| page << @map.removeOverlay(marker)}
end
```

but it doesn’t work (I mean it only adds marks). I read on google maps  
API forums, that I need to have array of marks which was added, to  
remove them later.  
Please help me write this .js code in .rjs file:

```auto
var MarkersArray = []; // global

var marker = new GMarker(PointsArray[Counter]);
// Adding:
map.addOverlay(marker);
MarkersArray[Counter] = marker;

// So I can remove a marker with:
map.removeOverlay(MarkersArray[Counter]);
```

Thank you in advance,  
Stan
