Thanks, Jurgen. One addendum: I might suggest having a bit more of a "defensive" coding style when parsing our geocoding output, as the existence of elements is not guaranteed.
So, something like this should work: var placemark = addresses.Placemark[0]; adminName = placemark.AddressDetails && placemark.AddressDetails.Country && placemark.AddressDetails.Country.AdministrativeArea && placemark.AddressDetails.Country.AdministrativeAreaName; If you think it is not that fun to parse the current output, you may want to star this issue, reported by Marcelo: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=606 - pamela On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 2:24 PM, Jürgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > geocoder.getLocations(point, function(addresses) { > if(addresses.Status.code != 200) { > alert("reverse geocoder failed to find an address for " + > point.toUrlValue()); > } > else { > var state = > > addresses.Placemark[0].AddressDetails.Country.AdministrativeArea.AdministrativeAreaName; > // do other stuff here > } > } > > On 27 Okt., 02:16, Brekin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Excellent Pamela.
