Using the Gecoding API, google maps has begun to return certain city names with a cryillic character set. Here's an example:
curl 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Natik, +MA&output=json&oe=utf8&sensor=false&tld=us' { "name": "Natik, MA", "Status": { "code": 200, "request": "geocode" }, "Placemark": [ { "id": "p1", "address": "Natick, MA, USA", "AddressDetails": { "Accuracy" : 4, "Country" : { "AdministrativeArea" : { "AdministrativeAreaName" : "MA", "SubAdministrativeArea" : { "Locality" : { "LocalityName" : "Нейтик" }, "SubAdministrativeAreaName" : "Middlesex" } }, "CountryName" : "USA", "CountryNameCode" : "US" } }, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 42.4153708, "south": 42.1512119, "east": -71.0933844, "west": -71.6056220 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ -71.3495032, 42.2834298, 0 ] } } ] } I've got the gl set as "US" and the encoding to UTF-8, but it seems odd to get back "Natik, MA" as "Нейтик" for the locality name. Am I passing something incorrectly? - scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
