While the Google Maps API isn't capable of delivering such data, you could write your own system based on "Tiger" which is available as shapefiles from the Census. You can easily setup such a system to pull that information. The latest version (published in October this year) is very accurate, rivaling the information Google uses and even NavTech. I'm very impressed with this free data, paid for with your tax dollars. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com http://www.zipmaps.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
