Placemark p3 has accuracy=5 which is postcode level. So 45.0193583,-63.7954121 is what you get if you geocode "B0N". If you want to plot "Truro, NS, Canada" on a map, then geocode that name rather than reverse geocoding "45.3271315647698,-63.4291674593077". If you want to plot the "Town" associated with "45.3271315647698,-63.4291674593077" then that's Placemark p1 accuracy=4 "Colchester; Subd. C, NS, Canada". -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
