Google Map GEO Results
- by Lee
Hey All
I'm getting really frustrated with google geo results and hope someone can advise me the best was to go.
I have created a AutoSuggest feature where you can start typing the address and google will repspond with suggestions. User then selects and address to move on.
But before I want them to continue on the next page I want to validate their selection. I would have thought this will be easy as we are only checking against what google has already given. But when I do my validation lookup it displays no results.
Some example code:
Lets say I picked from the suggestion this address: Suffield, CT 06078, USA
Then on validation I do a second lookup with this address ie.
$string = "Suffield, CT 06078, USA";
echo 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=json&oe=utf8&gl=us&sensor=false&key=[MyKey]&q='.urlencode($string).'';
It gives me Error code 602 (G_GEO_UNKNOWN_ADDRESS)
How can it not be found when its given me the address ??
Any suggestions how I can get around this.
Hope you can !
