How to place markers on Google Maps from external JSON data sources?

I am trying to mark some google map markers on my map with a location from the API. I tried to make a for loop that takes into account all the JSON data and places the "Driver Name, Latitude of Drivers and Longitude of Drivers" array inside the array. This array will then help Google Maps map these locations to the map. Sample code below:

setTimeout(function () {

    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
        zoom: 10,
        center: new google.maps.LatLng(62.457171, 17.350953),
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    });

    var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

    var marker, i;

    var url = "http://blackcab.didair.se/api/drivers";
    var name;
    var lat;
    var lon;
    var locations;

    $.getJSON(url,

    function (response) {
        name = response.drivers[n].name;
        lat = response.drivers[n].currentLat;
        lon = response.drivers[n].currentLon;
        for (var n = 0; n < response.drivers.length; n++)
        var locations = [
            [name, lat, lon, n], ];
        for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
            marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
                map: map
            });

            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function (marker, i) {
                return function () {
                    infowindow.setContent(locations[i][0]);
                    infowindow.open(map, marker);
                }
            })(marker, i));
        });
}, 3000);

This code is inside the interval due to the fact that I want it to reload these positions all the time. I searched for errors that got into the Google Chrome web developer tool, but then I got more errors. Is there a simple solution? The real "hazel".

Thanks in advance!
