On the iPhone I just used the built in Core Location data to grab the Latitude and Longitude. I also use the YahooMaps API to get the same information from an address. I couldn't find it from the GoogleMaps API but it was pretty straight forward to get it from YahooMaps API once I registered and got a key. It is the Web services API that I used. Then, using the XML parser I could get the information I needed. On the iPhone without the XML parser available, it was pretty easy to filter the returned data to get what I wanted. ****************************************** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.
