Larry, you were spot on. I changed my code from var defaultPoint = geocoder.getLatLng to just geocoder.getLatLng Also I took my localSearch code and placed it in the getLatLng call back function so that the local search executes when the initial geocode call finishes processing.
One thing is still a little opaque. I do understand from Mike Williams great tutorials that the *alert* function will halt processing until the user clicks ok.But, in the context of my problem, why did it work when I uncommented the *alert(localPoint)* in the local search processing? Im guessing it's something to do with delaying code execution periodically and giving my initial call back a chance to run. Thank you very much again for helping me out!
