http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#geocoder_differences http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/ The reverse geocoder returns addresses, as noted in the documentation: "latlng (required) — The textual latitude/longitude value for which you wish to obtain the closest, human-readable address." The Google Maps "geocoder" does all sorts of things, including incorporating elements of Local Search. It's not the same; the API geocoder is not as fully featured, but it does do what is documented. What you *could* do is use Google's geocoder and then search Geonames if Google doesn't return anything you can use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
