Hi Andrew, Thanks for your reply.
Actually my application code is dependent on the Country Node because the Geocoding Repsonse returns matching places from different countries when I search for a particualr location. Therefore I am trying to filter out the result for the places with Country Code equals to the Coutnry Code I have specified in the Request ( as "GB" after the location name) http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Cornish,GB&output=xml&sensor=false&;...<key> My requirement is that anyuser who will use my application will select a Country and specify a location name and search for that location. The application will offer all matching locations belonging only to the country he has selected. There are two options to achieve this - A) either I specify the Country in the request so that the Geocoding Response returns matching locations from within that country only B) I filter out the results based on the country code Since the Country Code will not be returned for all addresses, the only option left is to restrict the search to the selected Country. But passing the Country Code in the "q" parameter does not restrict the search. Is there any other way to do that? Any help will be much appreciated. -Joy On Jun 30, 5:54 pm, Andrew Leach <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jun 30, 1:08 pm, Joy <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > The Response that came back in the two cases are : > > > For Lake District: > > > <address>The Lake District, Cumbria, UK</address> > > - <AddressDetails Accuracy="9" > > xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xsdschema:xAL:2.0"> > > <AddressLine>The Lake District</AddressLine> > > </AddressDetails> > > For Cornish: > > <address>Cornish Rd, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire OX7 5, UK</ > > address> > > - <AddressDetails Accuracy="6" > > xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xsdschema:xAL:2.0"> > > - <Country> > > <CountryNameCode>GB</CountryNameCode> > > <CountryName>United Kingdom</CountryName> > > - <AdministrativeArea> > > <AdministrativeAreaName>Oxfordshire</AdministrativeAreaName> > > - <SubAdministrativeArea> > > <SubAdministrativeAreaName>West Oxfordshire</ > > SubAdministrativeAreaName> > > - <Locality> > > <LocalityName>Chipping Norton</LocalityName> > > - <Thoroughfare> > > <ThoroughfareName>Cornish Rd</ThoroughfareName> > > </Thoroughfare> > > - <PostalCode> > > <PostalCodeNumber>OX7 5</PostalCodeNumber> > > </PostalCode> > > </Locality> > > </SubAdministrativeArea> > > </AdministrativeArea> > > </Country> > > </AddressDetails> > > I reckon it's because "Cornish Rd, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire OX7 5, > UK" is a real address, whereas "The Lake District, Cumbria, UK" is > not, it's a rather large region.
