Mash ups like "show me > what is around my current position" work fine as well: Sure, but this is using a service that is backed by a large corporation who has a lat/long database. For small web developer shops who do not want (or do not have the facilities) to implement a lat/long to location lookup, a civic address is a great addition to the API. I think lat/long is doesn't tell any story so far as user experience is concerned. Thanks, -- Greg
