Hey there,

I am trying to get a latitude and longitude coordinate from the county
name of a given state and country. Here is a link to my javascript
code:

Here is an example location I want geocoded:

,Allegany County,Maryland,,United States

I am using a query to the google server like this:

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=#address#&output=xml&key=#GMAP_KEY#

Where that address above is the #address# variable.

According to the website:

http://www.convertunits.com/distance/county/Allegany+County,+MD

The latitude is suppose to be 39.621909 and the longitude is suppose
to be -78.802613.

Google is returning a latitude of 39.6255251 and a longitude of
-78.6114999.

These coordinates are close but a little bit off. Am I passing the
address in the correct format to Google?

Thanks for any suggestions to get more accurate results.

Sincerely,
Travis Walters
