Thanks for your quick answer Andrew, using Italy is one of the first
test i've done but i always get the result in Corsica as you can see
in below.
Maybe 20100 is not registered among google postal codes, i don't
know ...
You said using italy worked for you can you please send the the http
string you used.
Thanks.
