Running into a small issue when using the geocoding API to cleanse address data sent in by users -- this one is an edge case.
If the address is: 100 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA I get the following back in the returned object: "address": "100 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA" "coordinates": [ -71.0941265, 42.3596213, 0 ] However, if the user types in: 100 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA I get this back: "address": "100 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA" "coordinates": [ -71.0941265, 42.3596213, 0 ] ... I would expect that in the returned data, I would get the full "Massachusetts", but instead it just comes back with the "Mass" abbreviation. I would have assumed that in the underlying data, there would be a single name for the street, but apparently that's not the case? You can see from the coordinates that it's the exact same point. Now I'm afraid there will be more of these cases, and I won't know it; I'll treat them as different streets in the database. Thanks for any assistance... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
