Hi, is anyone aware of recent changes in the html geocoder? I'm almost sure I used this URL in a demonstration 2 months ago, now it gives status 400 (bad request):
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=germany,M%FCnchen,Marienplatz&output=xml&sensor=false I get [...]<Response> <name>M�nchen,Marienplatz</name>[...] The reason is obviously the city name. The ü in München is encoded (by Firefox 3.5.6 and IE 7) to %FC and somehow decoded wrong on the Google end (I guess). This example does not work either using pure API calls to Google on Windows XP. Same with other german cities. Searching for "Cologne", however, delivers a fine "Köln" to me. Playing around with &ie=iso-8859-1 or utf8 and &oe= doesn't change anything. So: how should one encode the request? Thanks for your time -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
