Ive been using googlemapapi with great success for US based locations. However, when I try to use the dutch language and find a place in the netherlands it doesnt work. Does the API support international maps with different language input?

If so, is there something in the API I need to change?

Any help greatly appreciated and thanks for your time.

It uses the Google geocode API to lookup the geocodes, so if that doesn't work, then that is why. You might try changing the server being used for the lookups to www.google.nl? I haven't tried this.

Thanks Monte. I changed what I thought was the server it was using to www.google.nl but when I looked at the output it was still google.com. I didnt see anywhere else in the API to change it. Do have have a line number in the API where it would be changed?

Thanks.

Code:
$map->lookup_server['GOOGLE'] = 'maps.google.nl';


Try that setting. IF you don't see $lookup_server as a property in the class, you might need a newer version, or possibly CVS.

Thank you. I didnt notice the option in the api docs for the version I have, perhaps thats the problem.

The failure to lookup the dutch map is probably due to your local number settings on the website you use. See my forum thread:

If you download the CVS version it should be fixed.
