seems to be normal - results vary but as Rossko says, it's not the API that is dong the locating - you're feeding it the coordinates that are supplied by another service - possibly via navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(), but what's the point in guesing. for some locations this is very accurate. For others it's way off. Where I live, the best I have seen is the IP lookup by Max Mind - it gets within a couple of kilometers (although it currently locates me about 10km out in the Caribbean Sea - I wish). navigator.geolocation misses the mark by 200km or so. you can see a few of the approaches and their results here: http://xelawho.com/map/ip2.php -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
