I see, thank you very much Barry and others for your patience. Apologies for my ineptitude.
For a postcode search (e.g. BS8 1TH), full key, callback, gl=uk - I get one inaccurate response. (Thinking about "uk" is probably Ukraine or something.) full key, callback, gl=gb - I get several choices as per Thor's suggestion - one of these is accurate - I can work with this. Searching for a place (e.g. Birmingham) full key, callback, gl=gb I get Birmingham, Alabama - not GB centric! full key, callback, gl=uk I get Birmingham, UK. I'm still confused, Mark On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 11:06 AM, Barry Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Always specify the key - without it you are actully utalizing the > geocoder of Google Maps - rather than the API.
