    Hi I have this code below, it works for every country, but not Japan..
    does any one knows why?

    Thanks

    var map = null;
    var geocoder = null;

    function load() {
    if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
    map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
    //map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 2);
    geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
    map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
    map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
    }
    }

    function showAddress(address) {
    if (geocoder) {
    geocoder.getLatLng(
    address,
    function(point) {
    if (!point) {
    alert(address + " not found");
    } else {
    map.setCenter(point, 2);
    var marker = new GMarker(point);
    map.addOverlay(marker);
    marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address);
    }
    }
    );
    }
    }
    //]]>
    </script>
    </head>

    <body onload="load()" onunload="GUnload()">
    <form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false">
    <p>
    <input type="text" size="60" name="address" value="1600 Amphitheatre Pky, Mountain View, CA" />
    <input type="submit" value="Go!" />
    </p>
    <div id="map" style="width: 1200px; height: 700px"></div>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    Japan isn't yet supported (geocoder).
    Probably because of the japanese letters.

    Don't know if if it would work using "tokyo, japan" in japanase letters.
