Thanks for the answer Ross, I've looked at that page before. Still, there is my problem:
I'm performing a search query to display the POI on a normal HTML + CSS page. I would like to integrate the google maps input (lon / lat) with that first query. The solution you gave me forces me to perform a second query which is identical to the first one, only gets the lon / lat data as well. I was just thinking performance wise :-) And, I have a lot of variables as input to the first query, so for the second query I have to make sure those same variables make it into the XML generator script (mydate.php?var1=a&var2=3 etc etc). If there is no other solution I'll just have to deal with the one you gave me.
