When supporting Maps API Premier customers, we often see questions
about problems geocoding a specific address. To help visualise and
debug such problems I wrote a geocoding tool for both v2 and v3 which
we use internally. They simply display all of the results for a query
on a map, with bounding boxes and address component information, and
allow you to define the country and viewport biasing that is applied.

I've now uploaded these tools to the Demo Galleries, so that they can
be used by external developers both for evaluating geocoding queries,
and also when documenting them in the Groups, Issue Tracker, or
Support cases:

http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/v2-geocoder-tool.html
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/v3-geocoder-tool.html

They support both forward and reverse geocoding, and queries are
bookmarkable so they can be emailed around.

Hope they are useful,

Thor.

Hello Thor

thanks to share this tool!
It is what i was looking for, ... almost!

But the version V2 is not working with IE6.0

and in the V3 i wonder how it works if you have a Select Option
construct to select countries.
At this time i can't make them talk to gether
