<br><br>Yes, but you probably need a server side component to do the actual
<br>reverse geocoding. For example here is an application that I build:
<br><br><a href="http://imaptools.com/maps2/tiger.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://imaptools.com/maps2/tiger.html</a><br><br>if you single click on the map is will reverse geocode that location and
<br>put the results in a marker. If you click the marker it will open with
<br>the xml results in it.
<br><br>The single click does an Ajax request back to my server to do the
<br>reverse geocoding and then create a marker and puts the xml text as the
<br>contents of the marker. One could just as easily parse the xml and put
<br>is in a more human readable form in the marker.
<br><br>You can look the the page source to see how I did the client side of this.
