In the documentation it says: You can also set the Geocoding Service to return results biased to a particular country using the gl parameter. This parameter takes a ccTLD (county code top-level domain) argument specifying the country bias. Most ccTLD codes are identical to ISO 3166-1 codes, with some notable exceptions. For example, Great Britain's ccTLD is "uk" (.co.uk) while its ISO 3166-1 code is "GB."
I followed the example given for Toledo, and indeed it works as expected; I get a different result for gl=es than I do for gl=us. However, using gl=uk seems to return the same top result as for gl=us. For example, http://www.google.com/maps/geo?q=10+downing+street&gl=uk&key=###&output=xml&sensor=false returns the top result as an address in the US. To be fair, the alternatives are listed in the UK, but why not the top one? All of them come back with the same accuracy. The only way I can think of to get around this is to explicitly specify "UK" as part of the general query.
