Now the same code works fine for me in the Sim and on the device

Definitely Google!
Here in Sydney, without fail reverse geocoder stops working late Saturday afternoon and late Sunday afternoon.
However as one of you guys said the maps app is unaffected. Therefore I suspect some sort of throttling going on to ensure that the "showpiece" app keeps working.
You can of course always store the lat long and make the call later, but I think this is mildly annoying.
Has anyone used the Google APIs for reverse geocoding?
Geocoding - Google Maps API Services - Google Code
I use the spreadsheet, pics, docs, calendar etc. and find them really reliable. I don't want to go and spend time writing the code if the same failure is going to occur.. anyone tried this? Would love to hear if the same prob occurs !
