I have a long running page that is used to display status items and a map. The page itself can be up for days, in a 24 hour period, it might need to geocode an address 2 or 3 times.
At some point, the status of a geocode request will be "ERROR" and then no more geocode requests will work until the page it refreshed. I have very similar code for V2 and V3 of the API, the V2 version runs flawlessly for weeks on end. The V3 version fails after 24 to 36 hours. I have not been able to reproduce on demand, but it is fairly reliable that within 24 to 36 hours there will be a failure. I have been able to (just now) trap the situation in the debugger, and nothing appears to be amiss. The code that I'm using is as follows: I'm loading the api with: <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/ js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script> Then in my event handler for when I need to move the map, I have the following code: if (window.console) console.log("Doing Geocode now"); var coder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); coder.geocode({ address: result.Address }, function (georesult, status) { if (window.console) console.log("Geocode result: %d", status); if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) { moveMap(georesult[0].geometry.location.lat(), georesult[0].geometry.location.lng(), georesult[0].geometry.location_type, result.AlarmID); } }); This runs/works as expected for hours and sometimes days on end, then the returned status will be "ERROR" and then it's dead. I suspect that there is some cached / global item that goes stale and does not get refreshed until the page is refreshed. Any thoughts on how to avoid / workaround / recover would be greatly appreciated. I do get the following error from IE, doubt it had anything to do with this problem...
