Maps.google.com supports full UK postcodes, so it finds the point in Essex.
The API geocoder doesn't, and it just so happens that it considers "EX8 Suzhou" to be a better match than "EX8 Devon". The ccTLD only adds a slight bias to the ranking of possible results. If you want to force a particular country, then you need to add the country code to the query. [Note: it is now safe to specify the country code more than once in the query, so you can just add " UK" to the end of whatever your user has entered without checking to see if they've already specified the country.] -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
