Hi all. I'm trying to use the Geocoding API to locate a UK postcode, for example "SA19 9DB".
Searching Google Maps gives an accurate result: http://maps.google.com/maps?&q=SA19+9DB%2C+gb However, the API fails to find it and instead returns a placemark for "SA19 7". http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=SA19+9DB,+GB&gl=gb&output=json&sensor=false&key=USE_YOUR_OWN_KEY It doesn't make any difference whether I use the gl parameter for country code, and UK returns the same result as GB. If I leave out the space in the postcode, I get a different (but also inaccurate) result ("SA19 9"): http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=SA199DB,+GB&gl=gb&output=json&sensor=false&key=USE_YOUR_OWN_KEY The Javascript Geocoding API gives the same result. Is it possible to get the same result as the map? If so, how? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
