For best results, search for the street name, city or zip code in Hybrid mode, zoom in as much as possible and then click the point whose address you are looking for.

This is possible due to the reverse geocoding feature that was introduced in Google Maps today. When you click a point on the map, the latitude and longitude co-ordinates of that place are translated into an address which is what you see on the map.

The location mashup is based on the sample code provided by Google API team but enhanced with a search function. Picture: flickr
