Hi, I've some problem to understand the current biasing design as it apparently doesn't offer what I'm looking for. I'm using the geocode API in order the autocomplete a form (and grab the coordinates) When someone complete the address field he has already completed country and/or postal code (at least) But when it comes to complete the address I can get the API to returns some meaning full result because the priority is given worldwide to an exact match rather than "regionnally" with a "starts_with:" Precising the region (country) doesn't help much. An example, I know I'm looking in 54600, Villers-lès-Nancy, Meurthe et Moselle, Lorraine, France for the "18 rue du Placieux". The scheme is the following : http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=18+rue+du+plac&sensor=false - with or without the ®ion=FR the result is the same of course - the ll parameter doesn't help either
The problem here is that I'm getting the results of the "rue du Plac" which exists in another french region (34980). What I would like is either, with another parameter : - address=18+rue+du+plac&postal_code=54600®ion=FR or, with in comma way : - address=18+rue+du+plac,+54600 or, giving hints to the way to threat the address : - address=18+rue+du+plac,+Lorraine, +France&parse_as_full_address_string=true (I'm curious about how the API currently treat commas, does it simply strip the right part after the first one ?) Is there any workaround with the current API, or rather, is there any plans to implement something more or less in that taste (I think it would be really useful) The way to solve this would probably be related to the feature request #838 about structured queries. Thank you for the API and good luck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
