Hello everyone, I've been experimenting with Component Filtering<https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/index#ComponentFiltering>and I noticed a weird behaviour: geocoding an address with component filtering will give me a better result than without filters. The specific case I found was the address *Avenida de Almirante Reis, 61 C/V.D, Lisboa*, while using the filter *components=country:PT*.
Without component filtering<http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Avenida%20de%20Almirante%20Reis,%2061%20C/V.D,%20Lisboa&sensor=false>I get a location_type APPROXIMATE, while with the filter<http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Avenida%20de%20Almirante%20Reis,%2061%20C/V.D,%20Lisboa&components=country:PT&sensor=false>I get a location_type ROOFTOP. (I thought of leaving pastebins with the answers the service gave me, but I do not know if that would be a violation of the ToS) Now, I could be wrong, but are filters not supposed to *reduce* the answer set? I'm not really interested on changing this behaviour, just on *understanding * it. Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
