I was about to undertake a project to map out forum subscribers on a world map, when I ran across a link to your site from an Ajax blog. Great work, and I look forward to trying out the API you have graciously shared. I will report back with a link of its use when completed. Awesome!

The White House and Washington Monument are each miles off (3.4 for the White House, 2.8 miles for the Washington Monument). The Lincoln Memorial is not too far off, since the marker points at the ring road around the Memorial. It'd be nice if the demo of your cool mash-up used accurate data.

I am trying to show the address details without any luck. I know the details are there in the xml but I can't figurre out how to show them on screen. This would help loads. Many Thanks Andy [UK] Brennan

Thanks for providing such a great script. I'm having a couple of problems implementing and am sure there are simple solutions. 1.)The map isn't actually displaying. I get the frame for the google map but no actual map. Ideas? 2.)The map displays above my drop-down navigation, making it unusable. I tried to fix it by adjusting the z-index but no dice. @Dave: I ran across this bit of PHP that you might find useful. It creates xml automatically. http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/3944/ Thanks again. Ryan Brennan,

The hard part is parsing the Tiger data which has all of the mapping data for the US. Then I should be able to get the lat/long coordinates from the database. Ultimately I would like to provide a web service (REST actually) to provide the ability to query that sort of data. I am working on that next.

I was trying to figure out how to do this yesterday with the Google Tutorial, and it seemed that it really wasn't covered. This function makes it very simple! Now if only I could find a way to create the xml automatically :) - Dave very cool!
