I am trying to add multiple markers into a google map and i have found a way to do that [here](https://gist.github.com/parth1020/4481893).
Now I have a json array response from the server as shown below.

```
 // function to get user names and addresses
public function getUserAddresses(Request $request)
{
    $users = User::where('address', '!=', null)->select('name', 'address')->get();  //this is a laravel query

    $userData = [];

    foreach ($users as $user) {
        $userData[$user->name] = $user->address;
    }
    return $userData;
}

```

This code above is what gives me the response below.

```
{
  "plumber1": "-1.2523238641713191,36.87899683074249",
  "plumber2": "-1.2192245641713191,36.87899687428849",
  "allan plumber": "-1.2192238641713191,36.87899683068849"
}

```

but for me to use this data it must be in these format as shown below in javascript.

```
[
   ["plumber1", -1.2523238641713191,36.87899683074249],
   ["plumber2", -1.2192245641713191,36.87899687428849],
   ["allan plumber", -1.2192238641713191,36.87899683068849]
];

```
