Hi Mike, I never thought I'd need it either, but in this case Google can't resolve some of the addresses that are present in our address database.
I am building a management interface for my users so they can manually locate the marker on the map. To help my user do this I was hoping to kind of put a marker some where nearby. Know this is in odd situation but was worth my while asking the brain trust :) Thanks again for your response On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 4:45 PM, Mike Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Wasn't it Devraj who wrote: > >>Is it possible to set accuracy parameters for the JavaScript GeoCoding >>API ?
