How much information do you have for the addresses? Try falling back: 1. remove the street number 2. just use the town and state 3. just use the zip code 4. just use the state 5. just use the country 6. "manually" geocode the ones that are left (or the ones that the above isn't close enough for). -- Larry > > Thanks, > Steve > > On Mar 26, 2:10 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Mar 25, 10:51 pm, Steve the Canuck <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I have a number of addresses to geocode in batch, so I have been using > > > the Google Maps API Geocoding service.
