I want you to think about your question from the stand point of a computer program. The coordinate system is an excellent method of locating a point on a surface. Addresses are at best inexact and can be extremely difficult to pinpoint. Many streets have duplicate names inside the same city, so they are not suitable for the task of absolutely defining a point.
Addresses can be converted into coordinates by the process of geocoding, however, this process is also inexact. I suggest Googling the topic for more information on how to use the process. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com http://www.zipmap.net --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
