Yes and no. > Eg, I pass the UK postcode and it returns some general info including > the county? The geocoder is just that: you give it a postcode and it returns the geographic coordinates. That's what it's designed to do, and generally it does it quite well. As a bonus, you do get some address information for those coordinates, and this can include the county or Unitary Authority. That is, Rochester is in Medway, not Kent; Brighton is not in East Sussex; and London may give some odd results. The best way is to try it and see what you get. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
