Server is always running at Google.com
Your phone needs a connection to this server in order to draw the map
or to geocode a string.
Without such connection you may see some pieces of map because of
GoogleMaps caching but geocode interface requires direct channel to
the server.

While geocoding and maps are related, they're not the same thing and I
highly doubt they're backed by the same server. It's entirely possible to
have full Maps access and have the geocoding fail.

2010-12-01 Thread ip332
Most likely the servers for maps and geocoding are different,
however the common thing is that both services require connection.
They both use the same network (cellular or WiFi) so if the network is
down none of them will work (except cached map data).
Geocode may fail if you submit wrong address, that is true but the
original question was why is it throwing exception.

I recall there was an openmap where you could just download the area you
need and store it to SD card and then view it from there, this can be
beneficial to user who does not have internet. I'm trying to develop this
software but I need a lot more time.

Off-topic, but 2 important cents:
Do you really need to develop it by yourself when several more or less
completed projects are available on the Android market already ?
For example: http://www.mapdroyd.com/ or http://www.andnav.org/
The second one is (or going to be) an open source project.

Geocoding has nothing in common with GPS but it requires complete
map DB (to search cities and streets)
As we know Google map is stored on the web therefore you must have 3G,
