Where does the geocoder say it is more relevant?

I guess the geocoder thinks plain old 'Lakeshore Rd, anytown' is a closer match to the supplied text. > The only way I can get it to return actually relevant results is a > hack: I append the city name to the end of the address string if it is not > there already. That makes sense to me. Google's geocoder is at heart not a street- finding gazetteer, it is an address-finding service. The more your search request looks like an address, the better it is likely to work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
