Thanks for the explanation.

I also tried to use getLocations() but it still only returns one
placemark just for London, England.

I wonder if using setViewPort() to restrict the results to the bounds
of a given country would help?

If so, is there a way retrieve the bounds of a country to pass to that
function?
