Not really. Well, it's supposed to use the xAL DTD, but the XML structure is rather fluid -- that is, the DTD allows elements to be nested in different ways. You'd need to parse the XML using childNode or something similar and discover which element was next. You might try the v3 geocoder which has a flatter XML structure: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/index.html#XML -- note the different url for this geocoder. And it doesn't need a key, but it does need "sensor". http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?sensor=false&address=kingwood,tx -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
