Maybe try the 4 letter ICAO codes, because these have region information and they aren't duplicated like the IATA codes: London, ON: CYXU http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=CYXU&sensor=false Sydney, NS: CYQY http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=CYQY&sensor=false Yellowknife, NT: CYZF http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=CYZF&sensor=false Vancouver, BC: CYVR http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=CYVR&sensor=false There's a good database of Latitude,Longitude for Aiports at OpenFlights.org Data Description http://openflights.org/data.html Download: aiports.dat http://openflights.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openflights/openflights/data/airports.dat ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
