The second. The volcano database has a location field and a region field. Each volcano is assigned to one. The API does include a reverse geocoder, which will return that type of information for a geographical location, but it is not meant for bulk use. So if you wanted your user to know the city, county or state of someplace they clicked on the map, you could provide the information returned by google (beware, there are problems with the consistency of the data). But performing bulk reverse geocoding would be against the TOU. -- Larry > > André > > On Feb 7, 7:27 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Feb 7, 11:23 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > On Feb 7, 11:19 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > > > wrote: > > > > > On Feb 7, 10:40 am, andre <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > If a website user selects a geographic region - e.g. "California" - > > > > > from a list, is it possible to then display all Markers within that > > > > > region?
