I hope you are not implementing it in v2 of the Google Maps API (the topic of this group), that was officially deprecated May 19, 2010 and will no longer be supported after May 19, 2013. There are lots of examples of determining if an address is in a polygon (point in polygon analysis): a couple of v3 examples: using KML and geoxml3, a third party KML parser: http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/v3_collection-map2e.html using FusionTablesLayer: http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_collection-map2e_FT.html -- Larry > > > > > > > > On Friday, 8 February 2013 12:28:01 UTC-5, Chris Bracher wrote: > > > I'm not sure.
