maps.google.com uses a combination of algorithms, not all of which are included in the reverse geocodeer. And your example works (result = 200) if I replace: var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(21.905017,-16.78997); with: var latlng = "21.905017,-16.78997"; -- Larry > > Sorry for not posting a link.
