I don't see any reference to 'rooftop' in my response. Here is a typical example of a geocoding response for an address in my area:
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=559+redwood+st+ottawa+on&key= { "name": "559 redwood st ottawa on", "Status": { "code": 200, "request": "geocode" }, "Placemark": [ { "id": "p1", "address": "559 Redwood Ave, Ottawa, ON K2A 3E7, Canada", "AddressDetails": { "Accuracy" : 8, "Country" : { "AdministrativeArea" : { "AdministrativeAreaName" : "ON", "SubAdministrativeArea" : { "Locality" : { "LocalityName" : "Ottawa", "PostalCode" : { "PostalCodeNumber" : "K2A 3E7" }, "Thoroughfare" : { "ThoroughfareName" : "559 Redwood Ave" } }, "SubAdministrativeAreaName" : "Ottawa Division" } }, "CountryName" : "Canada", "CountryNameCode" : "CA" } }, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 45.3844565, "south": 45.3781612, "east": -75.7659381, "west": -75.7722333 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ -75.7690767, 45.3813114, 0 ] } } ] } Does that mean it's not available to me? Thanks for all the info so far!
