You'll need a Premier licence if you're using Google reverse geocoder results without the intention of using those results on a publicly accessible Google map, so perhaps your Google Premier support guy might have some ideas. You could print a copy of a (publicly accessible) map as part of your report. Then you wouldn't need to describe the location in words, you could just look at the map. You could build your own MySql database of intersections and other landmarks that you're interested in, and find the nearest one by straight line distance. Just like you would in a store locator: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html#findnearsql except that you only need the one nearest result. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
