When using Googles geocoder service to display a city on a map; filling out a non-existing city results in an error.

Is there a way to display some suggestions based on the filled out city?

var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
function showAddress(address, zoom) {

          geocoder.getLatLng(
           address,
           function(point) {
            if (!point) {
                  //no point found....
              //Suggest some points :)
            } else {
                map.setCenter(point, zoom);

            }
          }
         );
        }
showAddress('Someplace, Nederland', 14);
