while running, I can not do search by key words inserted into the text boxes of my subwindow, I find myself limited tosearch by entering keywords in the text zone of the google map area
does the fact of having used the split container as a deviding page tool, disable the relation between the text zone and the webbrowser?
thx in advance for help

problem resolved, it was just a spelling mistake: mapps which i replaced by maps ;)
now, i still have another problem, i can find just by zip code, city and street, how should i make it workable by latitude and longitude?
i've tried to replace it by
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'build latitude part query 
  2. If txtlatitude.Text <> String.Empty Then 
  3. Lattitude = txtlatitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+") 
  4. queryAdress.Append(Lattitude + "," & "+") 
  5. End If
  6.  
  7.  'build longitude part query 
  8.  
  9. If txtlongitude.Text <> String.Empty Then
  10.  Longitude = txtlongitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+") 
  11. queryAdress.Append(Longitude + "," & "+") 
  12. End If 
  13.

another punctuation mistake, no need for the comma after the the longitude, i've replaced it by:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  If txtlongitude.Text <> String.Empty Then
  2.  Longitude = txtlongitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+") 
  3. queryAdress.Append(Longitude  & "+") 
  4. End If 
and now it works
last question: can i get how much satellites has my gps tracker detected ?
