I get 51.5399953,-0.1504003 from the geocoder using the postal district, which does relate to that address. The Maps geocoder is not the same as the API geocoder: they usually give the same results, but sometimes they don't. It's always best to give as much detail for the address as possible -- not units *within* a building, but a street number and postal district, if not a postcode sector. If you don't like Google's service, there are others available. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
