In order to display that location you need to geocode it. Note that the "TOPS MARKET #041 C" is not part of the address and could confuse a geocoder. from the "Articles" section of the v3 API documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/geocodestrat.html If you only want to show one at a time, you could use google maps. If you need to use the business name in your search, you will need to investigate the Places API. -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
