Why doesn't http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=devon return any of the
known cities/towns/counties named Devon? That's my question.

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=down returns the county of Down in
Ireland in its result set. http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=down,ireland
specifically returns just that result. Why doesn't
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=devon,uk return the county of Devon?

If it's a bug, or just missing data, that's fine. I can accept that. I
just wanted to see if anyone knew the answer. And I was hoping a
Googler might chime in, as they do indeed read and respond to this
mailing list from time to time. Search for Pamela Fox, as an example.

As for my question about 602 errors, it's not an unreasonable request.
I'm asking for a statistic. Just like any other statistic, it is
subject to a standard error. Of course I don't expect Google to
release this data, but you don't get what you don't ask for.
