Accuracy in V2 just gave you a hint of the size of the feature matched, i.e. building vs. road, country vs. province, etc.
In V3, you have the types array that will tell you that with greater detail: Address Component Types http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#GeocodingAddressTypes And when you know the size of the thing returned (e.g. premise vs. postal_code) then you can also get an idea of whether the LatLng given is an exact result or an approximation, geometry.location_type will tell you that: Geocoding Results http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#GeocodingResults Cheers, Miguel On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 14:50, mschipperheyn <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I was talking about the geoAccuracy that was supplied in the v2 > version of the api and that seems to have disappeared. > > I guess we'll just have to roll our own.
