Hi David, I stumbled across your module yesterday and it's quite handy. :-) Just a couple of suggestions from my testing: 1) The module kicks out a mapquest link for Canadian addresses rather than a Google link. I had a look under the hood and I see you're dealing with accents for Quebec, so maybe that's just an oversight? 2) It would be handy to support 2 character country codes as well as country names. I had tried to use "us" at first (because that's how addresses are stored in my db) but that gave me an error. Using something like Locale::SubCountry you might be able to find an easy solution to that. Hope you find this to be helpful! Great idea for a module.

I didn't think Google had very complete coverage for Canada. Last I looked it seemed to be only a few major cities near the US border (Toronto, Montreal, etc) Show quoted text

Yeah, that seems like a good idea. I'll look into this. -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg. My book blog ===================================================*/
