I have a critical condition effecting a website that I am building. Increasingly the application base is shifting from v2 to v3, and even Google has deprecated v2 completely.
I do not know who to direct this support issue to, but on the internal demo code, version 2 returns the CORRECT directions to my destination (as does maps.google.com), but version 3 returns directions to a destination nearby (on a different road). Given that this is being used for direction to a client's office, it is not good to be sending clients to the wrong street using the new API's. (I have tried this with each of the 3.x releases using the "v=3.x" value on the script load. The API demos that I used to verify this, modified locally only to change the destination: V3 (incorrect results): http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-simple.html V2 (correct results): http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/examples/directions-simple.html SPECIFIC LOCATION THAT I AM REFERRING TO: (any origin) to destination (33.95062845457156,-84.415002509787) maps.google.com gets this correct: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=FQEdAwIdIyn4-ilRT4QkfgP1iDElquKkbdwaMw%3BFaQLBgId5e33-g&q=Georgia+Dome+to+33.95062845457156,-84.415002509787&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=79.139394,79.013672&ie=UTF8&z=12&saddr=Georgia+Dome&daddr=33.95062845457156,-84.415002509787 and tests with JS API v2 gets it correct, but version 2 sends the driver down an adjacent road to a different reverse-geocoded address. one difference seems to be from the reverse geo-coding that is done somewhere in the API's. v2 returns a destination for 33.95062845457156,-84.415002509787 of "UNKNOWN ROAD" while v3 returns the address "161 Village Pkwy NE, Marietta, GA 30067, USA" (which is absolutely incorrect and is on a different road) Anyone know how I need to go about getting attention to this problem?
