Mike,

Very happy to share what I've got, but it's really not much - just a very thin 
wrapper round Google's API - and it's undocumented, mostly rough code - copied 
from one stack to the next, usually done in a tearing hurry!

I'll try to pull something together, but please promise not to judge me...
