I'm developing a similar application that uses the geocoder to obtain some information like state and city. The page ask for country and zip code and returns all the data about the location. For example, if the user search for Montreal (zip :H3J 2S1) the data returned by google is: * name: H3J 2S1, Canada * Status * code: 200 * request: geocode * Placemark * 0 * id: p1 * address: Québec H3J 2S1, Canadá * AddressDetails * Country * CountryNameCode: CA * CountryName: Canadá * AdministrativeArea * AdministrativeAreaName: QC * PostalCode * PostalCodeNumber: H3J 2S1 * Accuracy: 5 * Point * coordinates * 0: -73.573632 * 1: 45.487427 * 2: 0 * __shared: true
Pay attention to the response, this don't have anything about Locality; but if I perform the same query with the half of the zip code obtain all the information: * name: H3J, Canada * Status * code: 200 * request: geocode * Placemark * 0 * id: p1 * address: Montreal, QC, Canadá * AddressDetails * Country * CountryNameCode: CA * CountryName: Canadá * AdministrativeArea * AdministrativeAreaName: QC * Locality * LocalityName: Montreal * PostalCode * PostalCodeNumber: H3J * Accuracy: 5 * Point * coordinates * 0: -73.5728283 * 1: 45.4847686 * 2: 0 * __shared: true The geolocation is good but the data returned by the GclientGeocoder is incomplete when the user provides all the zip number. I've not found any documentation that explains this behavior. Can anybody help me?
