When geocoding a location in Haute-Savoie, France, for example Annecy, the geocoder returns another "département" name as SubAdministrativeAreaName: Haute-Saone instead of Haute-Savoie.
If we geocode a location in Haute-Saône, the result is correct, including the accented ô, so the names were not swapped, this is probably just a manual error in data copying, however it's a pretty serious one for French people who love their 100 "départements" ;-) Same error if we query directly for Haute-Savoie (accuracy level 3), the location name is returned as "Haute-Saone". Anybody knows where to report this? -- JFG Q [~] % curl 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Annecy'' { "name": "GAnnecy", "Status": { "code": 200, "request": "geocode" }, "Placemark": [ { "id": "p1", "address": "Annecy, France", "AddressDetails": {"Country": {"CountryNameCode": "FR","CountryName": "France","AdministrativeArea": {"AdministrativeAreaName": "Rhône-Alpes","SubAdministrativeArea": {"SubAdministrativeAreaName": "Haute-Saone","Locality": {"LocalityName": "Annecy"}}}},"Accuracy": 4}, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 45.9303573, "south": 45.8495610, "east": 6.1523827, "west": 6.1008386 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ 6.1284548, 45.8996243, 0 ] } } ] } Q [~] % curl 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Vesoul' { "name": "Vesoul", "Status": { "code": 200, "request": "geocode" }, "Placemark": [ { "id": "p1", "address": "Vesoul, France", "AddressDetails": {"Country": {"CountryNameCode": "FR","CountryName": "France","AdministrativeArea": {"AdministrativeAreaName": "Franche-Comté","SubAdministrativeArea": {"SubAdministrativeAreaName": "Haute-Saône","Locality": {"LocalityName": "Vesoul"}}}},"Accuracy": 4}, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 47.6520097, "south": 47.6158042, "east": 6.1741298, "west": 6.1303980 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ 6.1559043, 47.6234719, 0 ] } } ] } Q [~] % curl 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Haute-Savoie' { "name": "Haute-Savoie", "Status": { "code": 200, "request": "geocode" }, "Placemark": [ { "id": "p1", "address": "Haute-Saone, France", "AddressDetails": {"Country": {"CountryNameCode": "FR","CountryName": "France","AdministrativeArea": {"AdministrativeAreaName": "Rhône-Alpes","SubAdministrativeArea": {"SubAdministrativeAreaName": "Haute-Saone"}}},"Accuracy": 3}, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 46.4082141, "south": 45.6821436, "east": 7.0446470, "west": 5.8048527 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ 6.5389621, 46.1756788, 0 ] } } ] } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
