Below is what the geocoder returns for russia. What happens if you use the coordinates from the "LatLonBox" for your bounds? (worked for me...) -- Larry { "id": "p1", "address": "Russia", "AddressDetails": { "Accuracy": 1, "Country": { "CountryName": "Russia", "CountryNameCode": "RU" } }, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 76.9609558, "south": 31.2057644, "east": 170.8851638, "west": 39.7523482 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ 105.318756, 61.52401, 0 ] } } > > Thanks. > > John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
