Rails - Jul 2013 - Lat/Lng boudaries for each reverse geocoded address for google

Hi,

  I would like to get the lat/long boundaries for each reverse Geo-coded
address. For example,

Lat: 14.32826, Lng: 77.643127 pair gives reverse Geo-coded address as
"Kanyakumari Road, Andhra Pradesh 515101, India". There will be list
of
other lat/long pairs which will produce same reverse Geo-coded address
as above. And I assume that for each reverse Geo-coded address there
will be lat/long boundary.

  So, please let me know how can I get lat/long boundaryies for a pair
of lat/long which will produce same reverse Geo-coded address.

Thank You
Ajit

Why would you assume this? Latitude and longitude describe a precise 
point (within the tolerance provided by the system). Addresses 
(especially as defined by the Google Maps API) are imprecise. For 
example "Georgia" is a valid address, as defined by Google Maps. It is
also an ambiguous address. Does it mean the United States state of 
Georgia or the country in Asia? The API provides for region biasing to 
disambiguate such addresses.

It would be impractical to provide a list of all Lat/Lon pairs for an 
address. Theoretically that would be an infinitely long list. That is 
like asking to list every point inside a rectangle. That would also 
result in an infinitely long list.

Reverse geocoding a point into an address is a lot more "fuzzy."
Google
Maps attempts to provide reasonable results by retuning the "best" 
address for a given point, along with other addresses within the region 
surrounding the given point. Unlike geo-points, addresses are finite. 
There are only a limited number of them within any given region.

Taking a quick look at the Google Maps API I didn''t see anything that 
would directly give you what you want. As I described above I don''t
even
think this makes sense.
