The KML standards, which are used by the geocode response, were invented by programmers rather than cartographers. Computer programmers conventionally think of points as being expressed as (x,y) rather than (y,x).
[Google Maps v1 also used GPoint(x,y) for geographic locations, but that proved to be so confusing that they switched to GLatLng(lat,lng) in v2. It's not so easy to rewrite the KML standards.] -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
