var chicago = new google.maps.LatLng(41.948766, -87.691497);

map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), {center: chicago,

  zoom: 12,  mapTypeId: 'roadmap'}); var layer = new google.maps.FusionTablesLayer({  query: {    select: 'address',    from: '198945',    where: 'ridership > 5000'  }});layer.setMap(map);

'http://www.google.com/fusiontables/gvizdata?tq=' + queryText);query.send(getData);

}

function getData(response) {new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('visualization')).

draw(response.getDataTable(), {title:"Yearly Coffee Consumption by Country", width:600, height:400, vAxis: {title: "Year"}, hAxis: {title: "Cups"}}
