The reason questions like this don't get answered is because you are asking for someone to provide you with an entire solution to your problem. You need to break out your problem into smaller segments and ask specific questions. What would you think if I were to log into Code Project and say "Can someone provide me with source code for a financial application similar to Quickbooks?" You would think that was a ridiculous request. Well, your request may not be as ridiculous, but nobody here is going to write your code for you. Google's API is well documented and there are other tools for doing geo-location. Try to do what you want first and then ask specific questions. Also, this is an ASP .NET forum. The question you are wanting an answer for would be better categorized in the Web Development forum since it is not specific to ASP .NET. -Matt

Did you sign up for a Google Maps API key here: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/[^]? If so, you have to make sure you are using the key from the server that you typed into the API key signup page. If you are running it from your local system, then you need to generate a key for "localhost". -Matt
