This thread will be of interest - http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/7d7dc5be6636dc62/c8a7d4471758bd50?lnk=gst&q=parse+reverse+geocoder#c8a7d4471758bd50 Basically, you can't use the geocoder as a string-parser because it won't be accurate (as you've found). It'll parse the coordinates okay but then return to you the nearest point it actually knows something about - reverse geocoding. If you want to parse and convert, then parse and convert, it's not difficult and a lot quicker than using an AJAX service. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
