The Web History which is described in that article is not supported by the Maps API (There may be another API which allows access to it, but security would be a nightmare). If you want a "Suggest as you type" solution, then that's not available through a Maps service either. You need to use another data provider. For example: http://www.achurchnearyou.com/ does this. Type "abin" and suggestions from Abingdon and Abington are displayed, along with "St Sabinus, Woolacombe" which also contains the string "abin". This uses our own database; you might be able to use a Geonames.org service, or get gazetteer data which you can host yourself. So the usual solution which is advocated is the "Did you mean" solution which Mike demonstrates at http://econym.org.uk/gmap/didyoumean.htm Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
