Hi Paul I geocoded 61 huntly terrace and the location was eve less accurate,12 houses. I assume this is a function of the database/search. Looking at it logically what size of database would it require to store the data for all possible addresses in the world, the UK alone has over 28 million. The

Hey Davie, Thanks for your messages. Ok so for streetview it seems its sometimes not spot on, I take it does this mean the maps is also sometimes out a bit or do you find this is more exact? To have very close by (like a couple of houses along) this is ok, I've also seen cases where it is show

Hi Street view doesn't always give the exact location! If you search for 61,Huntly Terrace Paisley, UK you will get a location at 5 houses away from the correct one (the house next to the white one).As I said I think the API cannot provide the exact location due to the limitations I suggested. If

the streetview does show exact location using maps.google.com, as it does for maps.. are you saying that you think with the api you can't pinpoint location to number on street level?.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3"

Hi If you examine streetview it seems to be a series of still photographs. I assume the database is searched for the photo nearest the coordinates given. This in all probability wont show the exact address, it may be on a completely different street!. maps.google.com search is probably using a dif

Not for me. When I use maps.google.com, the panorama view also says "address is approximate." (I'm running my search from the US, not UK, so that might make a difference in what it finds.) Would you recognize the location if either the API or maps.google.com got it right? Does maps.google.com g

Hey Jeff, The spelling is just wrong in the code, I can't update it right now but will later. Assume that the address is right '61A De Beauvoir Road', I can assure you it won't pinpoint this *or any other address* because it is not recognising the housename or street number. I know google has

First, Google Maps thinks you're spelling the street name incorrectly. (maps gives 61A De Beauvoir Road, Hackney, London N1 5AU, UK But (I assume) you would know better. Do you know where 61A is? (And is this the wrong location?) Just because street view says the location is approximate doesn'
