I put a test on for a known address and it works fine. The problem may
be in the geocoding itself, not in how you're storing and recalling
the addresses.

Geocoding is more art than science, so having a lot of potential
errors is just common. What you might want to do is something similar
to this:

This gives a user a second chance to move the marker to the right spot
before submitting it to storage. This double checks the address and
gives you a much higher confidence that what you're storing is an
actual, valid location. Also, if the location isn't found, the user
can find it for you.

Maybe some day geocoding will be better but right now it's sort of in
the "Spirit of St. Louis" era.

You might want to remove the "test" address I added. No public potty
there.
