The invalid address returns an aproximate match on the street, and it has the fields: <partial_match>true</partial_match> <location_type>GEOMETRIC_CENTER</location_type> http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=6600%20Valencia%20St,%20San%20Francisco&sensor=false The valid address has the fields: <type>street_number</type> <location_type>ROOFTOP</location_type> http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=400%20Valencia%20St,%20San%20Francisco&sensor=false Aside from that, both results have a suggested viewport. Are those geometry values not suitable for your purposes? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/services.html#Geocoding -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- > I'm also new to the > Google Maps API. > > For my situation, if the accuracy is high, I would like to return a > high zoom level and text to indicate 'here is what you're looking > for.'
