Hi, I'm using the static maps API to resolve addresses of Hotels on a site, all work correctly apart from one Hotel. This one hotel's address does however resolve correctly if I use the same address for a search on maps.google.co.uk.
The page showing the incorrect location can be found here: https://www.letsbookrooms.com/view/gb/the-townhouse_perthshire_626.html Here's a link to a Maps.google.co.uk search for the same address used in the static map on the above page: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=17+Marshall+Place,+Perth,+Perthshire,+Scotland,+PH2+8AG&sll=56.39227,-3.431394&sspn=0.006485,0.01929&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=17+Marshall+Pl,+Perth+PH2+8AG,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=16 You'll see on the static map that it shows the hotel to be located in Milnathort near Kinross rather than being in the correct location of Perth town centre. I have tested the address in the geocoding test page (http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/ singlegeocode.html) and I get the same incorrect location. Have I encountered a bug in the static maps api? I've tried modifying the urlencoding of the address when used in the static maps api but it makes no difference. Here's the address I am trying to use: 17 Marshall Place, , Perth, Perthshire, Scotland, PH2 8AG and here is the urlencoded form that I am using in my code: 17+Marshall+Place,+,+Perth,+Perthshire,+Scotland,+PH2+8AG (I realise there is an extra comma and space in that address, this is due to a second address parameter that does not contain any content. However, even if you remove that it still fails to locate it correctly.)
