Hi Paul I geocoded 61 huntly terrace and the location was eve less accurate,12 houses. I assume this is a function of the database/search. Looking at it logically what size of database would it require to store the data for all possible addresses in the world, the UK alone has over 28 million. The normal approach is to geocode the address, show it on a map, and get the viewer to correct the position. The correct position is then stored in your own database. I have not tried this to find that this will provide a correct position in streetview. I suggest you try this using streetview-simple.html from the api v3 reference
