Yes, but you probably need a server side component to do the actual reverse geocoding. For example here is an application that I build: http://imaptools.com/maps2/tiger.html if you single click on the map is will reverse geocode that location and put the results in a marker. If you click the marker it will open with the xml results in it. The single click does an Ajax request back to my server to do the reverse geocoding and then create a marker and puts the xml text as the contents of the marker. One could just as easily parse the xml and put is in a more human readable form in the marker. You can look the the page source to see how I did the client side of this. -Steve Woodbridge http://imaptools.com/ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
