title: Region Biasing with Google Maps
body: <p>My users, who may be located anywhere in the world, will be presented with a text box wherein they can enter their address. In most cases, I assume they will physically be in the same country as whatever address they are typing.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to help Google Map API make better guesses by doing <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#RegionCodes" rel="nofollow">region biasing</a>. Is there a way to tell Google to region bias from where the request is being made? Or how can I give that information to Google when I make the web service call (e.g. convert IP address to country information)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
