The name of the process you're interested in is "geocoding." Geocoding can return a plethora of information based on the location of the marker. To get an idea of what geocoding can do, start here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#Geocoding
A little further down the same page,all of the potential array elements returned in a geocoding call is listed: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#GeocodingAddressTypes After you've read all of that, go hereand scroll down to the Services section of the examples. Pay special attention to the 4 geocoding examples: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/index.html There's a lot going on on this page, but it will give you an idea of all of the information that can be returned in a single geocoding call: http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/v3-geocoder-tool.html HTH JF On May 29, 9:35 pm, jesar james <[email protected]> wrote: > How do I get/retrieve information such as the Country and City (or > even the Street) in Google Maps?
