hi russ
petko released his own google map markup, GMap, a while ago:
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/GMap
and Ryan O'Toole just released his MapWiki recipe, and is actively
maintaining it (i haven't used it yet, but it looks promising)
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MapWiki
i'm not sure about the state of GoogleMapAPI - i haven't used it.
best,
adam

> 620 status, and use a while loop to ensure we've successfully
> geocoded an address before iterating to the next one."
