Mark's Buddy Finder

Hmmm. Unfortunately the maps are google maps, so the things coming
back are just coming from their API. I added the country thing since
that is the most common error (of course Americans don't need to add
America, which is extremely annoying). I removed it so now it will
just say "England not found" which is equally frustrating.

By the way I know it's there since it exists at http://maps.google.co.uk/

Strangely if I go to the google site and type in London (for example)
it finds it with no problems.

Do you think it would be better if it had the google tools and let you
zoom in etc. etc., rather than trying to look up the address? As per
how the above site works but starting with the world view?

Looks like you can't use the google ceocoding for the UK via the API.

Damn!
