Hi Bill, I am looking at your stack now. I don't see any place where you use JavaScript to get get the bounds from the Google maps API. I think you would have to do it that way to get a reliable result. That won't give you corners, exactly, but it will give you a minimum bounding rectangle

That doesn't generalize to more than two levels (without many extra lines of code) - you essentially have to number or label the repeat loops, and check in many places whether the 'exitMe" variable has been set to a higher level or not. And it's pretty fragile if additional levels of repeat

Hermann: I got your stack. It pretty much is where I am at now. However, it doesn’t solve my problem. If you notice the “geocode” call output, nothing changes when the zoom level changes. This isn’t much help when trying to find the lat/lon values of the corners of the image. That’s what I

The google maps API has a function for getting the bounds of a map, which adjusts at each level. So, this is just a matter of calling on that function every time, so you get current bounds. I will look at the stack later today. Just be careful with bounds. They can cause confusion with
