You don't really mean "reverse geocoding", I think. Reverse geocoding is extremely specific as you give a particular geographic point and get back the nearest known address. Geocoding provides locations for addresses, and ambiguous addresses can result in unexpected results. > At the moment Im using a script that automatically inputs "UK" after > the user types in a postcode/street etc which doesnt always work when > it is passed to another page. Adding "UK" should bias the search strongly to the UK -- although if you search for a location which doesn't exist in the UK you could get something else. You might even get an unexpected result indicating that the location can be found in the UK -- try "Paris, UK", or "Orly, UK". Neither of those produce a location in France. Examples would help. What specifics are you finding don't work the way you expect? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
