just tried this @ openstreetmap via HTTP: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim (under Reverse Geocoding) but they state that a limit is imposed "No heavy uses (an absolute maximum of 1 request/s)". on that same wiki page they say that this as an alternative has no bandwidth limit: http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/ lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
