Hi - I am just getting started with the Google Maps API. I am building
an application that based on the user's entered zipcode, I will need
to identify the county and state for that zip code. Is there a
function available in the google maps API that will return the county
and state?

Thanks.

That may (or may not) be available as part of the geocoder's response
to:
GClientGeocoder.getLocations(address, callback)
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GClient...

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding

There have been complaints about the inconsistency of the returned
data, see:

There's a file in the "files" section of this forum that contains this
information. You'd have to construct your own database with this info
and do the relevant queries, but the information is there and is
relatively current.
