I've been doing some comparisons of Android Geocoder.getfromLocationName with Google Maps to do a simple geocode of an address to a latitude, longitude.
The specification of an address is much more flexible with Google Maps. Google Maps allows more ways to specify an address compared with Android Geocoder. Any comments (especially from Google developers) on why? Can we expect them to take similar input in the future? Example: Wisconsin Ave & M St NW, Washington DC returns a good location in Google Maps but not in Android Geocoder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
