The q variable http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Amsterdam returns "Point": { "coordinates": [ 4.8909347, 52.3738007, 0 ] }
very parsable according to chosen format. The mistake is that lat and lon are inconsistently ordered so difficult to remember which is which in the array. To ease it, you can spec it function name2geocode(name) ..return geocode To avoid triple conflicts where same city name both appear many places (Paris in Texas etc) and geography names both change and differ per human language, preferred way I took was store coordinates then load mapmarkers with kml to my thing (classifiedsmarket.appspot.com) rather open source via montao.googlecode.com sincerely Niklas R --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
