Use the geocoder to convert the addresses to coordinates at the time that the customer enters them. This gives several benefits:
Spelling errors in the addresses can be detected and corrected at the time of entry, when the geocoder fails to recognise the misspelled version. Geocoding errors can be seen by the customer and corrected, either by adding more information (E.g. by specifying "Boston, Lincolnshire" rather than just "Boston") or by dragging the marker to the exact position. Geocoding the addresses later is very inefficient, can cause you to exceed your geocoding speed limit, and presents awkward pitfalls for the unwary coder. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
