That point is on the street: http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=(45.3813114,-75.7690767)&geocode=1&zoom=19&type=hybrid > Does that mean it's not available to me? Which means probably not yet. This is what a "rooftop" geocode looks like: http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=400%20Union%20Ave,%20Bridgewater,%20NJ%2008807,%20USA%20&geocode=1&zoom=18&type=hybrid It is not on the road, it is on the building. Geocoders used to always interpolate addresses along roads. Google introduced "rooftop" goecodes in 2008: http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2008/05/shout-it-from-rooftops.html -- Larry > > Thanks for all the info so far! > > On Jun 7, 11:52 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > On Jun 7, 8:17 am, volksman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hello All! > > > > I'm wondering if there is a way to get 'heading' information from a > > > street address.
