I suspect he is looking for a reverse geocoder, but it is hard to tell from his description. Dakhla West-Sahara/Morocco: http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=Dakhla%20West-Sahara/Morocco%20&geocode=1&zoom=8 (which is "West-Sahara"), I have no idea where Dakhla is, or what country should be returned there. Geonames thinks it is "Western Sahara" http://ws.geonames.org/countrySubdivision?lat=24.357535&lng=-12.805475 http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html#countrysubdiv from: http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/web/resources-non-google-geocoders -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
