Hi Michael- Glad to hear you're porting to us! Re 1- The closest thing we return right now is the "accuracy" number. Most developers I know use that for zooming. We announced a month ago that we'll soon add a "bounding box" output in the geocoder, to make it easy to zoom to the optimal bounds. That change has not gone out yet.
Re 2- I use this to calculate the radius of the map: var bounds = map.getLatLngBounds(); var radius = bounds.getCenter().distanceFrom(bounds.getNorthEast()); Hope that helps. - pamela On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 4:41 PM, Michael Allman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > I am porting a Flex mapping application from the Yahoo! maps library > to the Google maps library and have run into a couple of roadblocks > along the way. > > 1.
