Sure. As Marcelo likes to say "anything is possible". What is the accuracy with which you want to say that the coordinates are correct? You will need to modify your code to create an array of markers (or use one o the third party kml parsers that expose the array of markers or write your own). Then when the user enters a set of coordinates, search through that array for a marker within your specified "zone" (you can use GLatLng.distanceFrom() to check how close the entered point is to each marker), then generate a click event on any marker that meets your criteria... -- Larry > > thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
