Hi, I haven't found anything on google or in this group. I am using limited local search to find businesses around particular coordinate. LocalSearch returns pretty good results in the GsearchResultClass structure - name of business, address, city, state and phone. Anything missing? Well, yes, the zip code. Why is it not included?
Same issue with Google Maps geocoder obviously - it doesn't include postal code if you do geocoding of an address, see xml data transmitted here for example: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/geocoding-simple.html It does make some degree of sense in case of Maps (zip being an artificial thing), but in case of Local Search it makes very little sense - these addresses come from yellow pages and as such do carry that info in the original data source. I guess my question is if there is any web service API from Google which i could use to find postal code of an address/coordinate. I can already do the reverse (just put the zip in the above geocoding example) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google AJAX APIs" group.
