Having said that if there is interest could probably consider setting it up as a service (where you have to provide your Google API key - rather than use mine) (or if you mean that Googles API doesnt return KML - I would consider that something of a disappointment too!) @Rob

Useful tool. Am I missing something or just disappointed? I expected the search to return a link to a KML file?

Seems to be a bug in Googles API, I’ve quiered it with Google to no response.

In the meantime you can change to ‘kmlonly’ in the dropdown, seems to return results when ‘blended’ doesnt.

Am I doing something wrong (apart from wanting to look for Herne Bay in the first place!?)…?
