The maps API uses a very out-of-data postcode dataset too, at least
pre-November-2006. This means some postcodes won't be understood by
the API geocoder (mainly a problem around Cambridge) and many PO Box
postcodes, which are updated more often than normal postcodes, will
also have this problem.

Google's own maps use a pretty up-to-date postcode database, and are
also licensed to geocode the whole thing.

more info on the Cambridge postcode problem.
