Perhaps the attached will help.

Because the document returned to you has a default namesapce, you MUST supply a prefix, even thought the document doesn't use any prefixes (at least the example doesn't). If you do not supply the prefix both when adding to the XmlNamespaceManager and when calling SelectSingleNode, no node will be selected. I used "anyPrefix" and as the string implies, you can use whatever prefix you like.

    Try
        result = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(client.DownloadData("http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=austin,+tx+78730&output=xml&key=abcdefg"))
        xdoc.LoadXml(result)
        mgr.AddNamespace("anyPrefix", "http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0")
        Me.TextBox1.Text = xdoc.SelectSingleNode("/anyPrefix:kml/anyPrefix:Response/anyPrefix:Status/anyPrefix:code", mgr).InnerText
        Me.TextBox2.Text = xdoc.SelectSingleNode("/anyPrefix:kml/anyPrefix:Response/anyPrefix:Status/anyPrefix:request", mgr).InnerText
