The only way to be reasonably sure is to add " UK" to the end of the text that the user gives you before handing it on to the geocoder. The user types "Washington" and you send "Washington UK" to the geocoder.
Using a base country code only applies a modest bias to the results, so if there's a much more famous location elsewhere, you can still get that one. A query for "California UK" or "Delaware UK" will return the locations of little UK villages. A fairly recent change to the geocode server has made it safe to do that without checking. [In earlier versions you would have had to check that the user hadn't already entered "UK", "United Kingdom" or "U.K.", because multiple instances of the same thing didn't work.] -- 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.
