David,
Sorry, I assumed the button you referred to was in an application of
yours that also included the Google Map. You could create an
application containing a map as their api allows you to get events off
of the map. But sense it isn't already an application of yours then
having the java program take care of it sounds like the better approach
to me.

Scott, I've had thoughts on a conceptual level about either calling an
rpg program from java, or performing a direct update to as file on the
as/400 from java. Yet to investigate that route .
Regarding your other suggestion about calling a cgi .. I'm not sure I
understand. The button is on the Google Maps website, not anything I've
written. It just sends the url of the Google maps page (with the
location I'm looking at) to the clipboard. Are you suggesting I hijack
the button somehow?
FYI Roger, I looked at USPS, but it returns very basic info. No gps.
Mapquest may be an alternative. I've also used Yahoo in the past. Thanks
for the suggestion.

David,
You have a button on the website to 'copy link address' - could that
call a cgi program on the i and send the address that way instead of
going through the clipboard? Or maybe your existing java program can
write directly to the i.
Just a thought.

Thanks Roger,
I'll check it out. If that works, it could be useful in a other
application I'm using.
Regardless of which API(s) I end up using I anticipate my original issue
of having to eyeball some locations will remain.
If anyone has any experience with manipulating/retrieving the clipboard
from RPG/ Java/ (??) on the iSeries , I'd really appreciate any input.
Thanks again,
-David.
