Is the behavior change (multiple placemarks with varying accuracy) expected?
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?ll=37.4219720,-122.0841430&output=xml&key=abcdefg returns 10 placemarks -- a couple of days back, it returned just 1 placemark. Will the placemarks be sorted in a particular order? For example, can we be guaranteed that the first placemark (p1) will be the most granular (street level with accuracy=8 or 9) one? Is there a way to filter it in the query (maybe based on accuracy) so that fewer placemarks are retrieved? With this behavior change, the size of the json object returned has increased manifold? Not sure if it has any impact on performance.
