A link to my map page is: http://test.ecosearch.emergeknowledge.com/ecosearch
The problem I've found is that the same address string can return different result sets. For example, if I search with location "140 West Us30, 46375, Schererville, IN, USA", I get two potential results back from the maps api. The first kind of result returns only one placemark with an accuracy of 6. The second results returns 3 placemarks with an accuracy of 8, 6, 6. I've attached the xml responses to the bottom of this post. I noticed this issue because I'm trying to import some locations into the system but during testing I'm not getting consistent results from the import. I understand the address I've shown as an example isn't well formatted, but I'm thinking a poorly formatted address should still return the same result set. I tried this same location search at maps.google.com and I observed the same behaviour where the same address would return different result sets. Any info on this issue would be appreciated as I need to be able to ensure that the same address, regardless of how well it is formed, will tend to always return the same result.
