  Actually, I shouldn't have used that section of XML - I meant to post something that had a normal address that worked on a Google map, instead of one that included the coordinate points already. I had that other section in there because I wanted the code able to do both (it doesn't matter to Geocoder whether it's getting a GPS point or an address - it still spits back a GPS point to plot). Here's a better example section:

  
  <wpt addr="150 Malin Dr, Wytheville, VA, 24382">
  <name>Days Inn</name>
  <desc>150 Malin Dr, Wytheville, VA 24382</desc>
  <state>VA</state>
  </wpt>
