Lent, Nederlands seems like it might be the right place (I don't know the Netherlands all that well). http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=Lent,%20Nederlands&geocode=1 Why that is different from "Lent, The Netherlands" and "Lent, NL", I don't know. The geocoder is returning one point with accuracy 9: "address": "Kerkvoogdij Nederlands Hervormde Kerk, Pastoor van Laakstraat 30, 6663 Nijmegen, The Netherlands" Reverse geocoding those coordinates gives: [ 7 ]: Lent, Nijmegen, The Netherlands (51.8633351, 5.8651633) as the 8th result "address": "Lent, Nijmegen, The Netherlands" "Accuracy": 4 -- Larry --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
