No it doesn't, it return images (gifs, jpegs, etc) when it is fed a URL in that format by a browser. > In particular, i'd like to know if there is a way (programatically, > javascript ideally) to convert these unsigned "coordinates" back to > signed decimal coordinates with proper E/W/N/S signing, etc: It might help if you can explain what you're trying to acheive? I want to understand the Static Maps parameters - see the documentation, here's an introduction - http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2008/02/google-maps-without-scripting.html I want to scrape data off of other people's webpages - good luck with that. I want to turn a placename into coordinates - look into geocoding cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
