That's because that's the centroid of the S45 9 postcode sector. The API doesn't geocode the last two letters. There are hundreds of posts about it and probably an FAQ. The most relevant FAQ is http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#geocoder_differences > If you follow the link to see a larger map, the marker shows in the > correct position? Google Maps does geocode the complete postcode. > Please advise. The print works isn't going to move. Get its geographic coordinates and use those directly rather than geocode the address every time anyone opens the page. You can do that with something like John's useful little utility at http://maps.huge.info/pinpointaddress.htm Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
