Until recently there was code in the API to send a reverse geocoding request to the Google server. GClientGeocoder.getAddresses(latlng, callback) It constructed a request that's similar that sent by GClientGeocoder.getLocations(address, callback) and sent it to the same server. The server has always rejected such requests. The error code returned has changed from time to time. The GClientGeocoder.getAddresses code was introduced in v2.98 and removed in v2.130. GClientGeocoder.getAddress() [which would be the equivalent of GClientGeocoder.getLatLng()] still exists, but I think it calls GClientGeocoder.getAddresses() and then extracts the first result from the XML and returns it as a simple string, or NULL if the operation failed. I've no idea whether the deletion of GClientGeocoder.getAddresses() is a sign that they've ditched the idea, or a sign that they're starting to work on a different approach. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
