I used the reverse geocoder. The link I reference geocodes the address, it also returns the results from a reverse geocode of "27.688897,-82.36778", the 3rd result of that is: [ 2 ]: Greater Sun Center, Florida, USA (27.726829, -82.382881) -- Larry > > It does appear that Google is using city boundaries rather than Post > Office addressing.
