That's not what I'm getting. The first results in mid-of-nowhere in Wyoming, on a road with 4DT as part of its name. The second in the middle of Mannheim, Germany. The third gives two possible results, either somewhere in Colorado or Mannheim, Germany. Try them here: http://maps.forum.nu/gm_main.html There are some issues with UK postcodes which have been discussed extensively in this group, but in any case, geocoding is more of an art than an exact science. Imagine if you have to write the geocoding application covering the entire world, and you get a query like 'ZZ8 4DT'. Is it a postcode in Britain? Is it a postcode in India? Is it a very fast motorcycle? ;-) -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
