http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=2625+West+Baseline+Road,+Tempe,+AZ+85283&ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=33.37738,-111.976197&spn=0.00047,0.000864&t=h&z=20 I get 33.377378, -111.976197 Looks like google has "rooftop" geocoding for that address (the location is in the parking lot, not on a road). Which is the same as what I get when I use the API Geocoder: http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=2625%20West%20Baseline%20Road,%20Tempe,%20AZ%2085283&geocode=1 -- Larry > > Using the link you gave me I got 33.377384 and -111.976200 > > http://maps.huge.info/showaddress.htm?lat=33.377384&lng=-111.976200&z... > > Using Yahoo Maps I got 33.377989 and -111.976672 > > http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=33.377989&lon=-111.976672&zoom=15&q1... > > The Huge.Info numbers work best with the API, but why are the others > wrong? > > On Dec 30, 4:06 am, "warden [Andrew Leach - Maps API Guru]" > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Dec 30, 3:47 am, donjamessingleton <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > I am a newbie at using the API, but I am having problems finding > > > latitude/longitude.
