Update: iPhone SDk 3.0 now addresses the question here, however the NDA prevents any in depth discussion. Log in to the iPhone Dev Center if you need more info.

Ok, I have to admit I'm a little lost here.

I am fairly comfortable with Cocoa, but am having trouble picking up the bit of javascript needed to solve this problem.

I am trying to send a request to Google for a reverse geo code.

I have looked over the Google documentation I have viewed here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/index.html http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/

Even after a rough reading, I am missing a basic concept:

How do I talk to google? In some examples, they show a url being sent to google (which seems easy enough), but in others they show javascript. It seems for reverse geocoding, the request might be be harder than sending the url with some parameters (but I hope I am wrong).

Can someone point me to the correct way to make a request? (In objective-C, so I can wrap my head around it)
