It's doing what you tell it to: centering on 51.5001524,-0.1262362. If you need it to geocode your postcode, you need to tell it to do that. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding Warning: UK postcodes are horribly inaccurate due to Royal Mail restrictions. That *may* change with the release of Ordnance Survey data, but don't hold your breath. It would *definitely* be better to use the entire address, not just the postcode -- but you need to make sure you are using just the postal address (ie, don't include "Number 7" because that confuses the system). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
