Given that there is more than one "Kennedy Center" in the whole world, can you give any further clues for the geocoder? Note that the geocoder is for converting addresses to lat/longs, it's not so good with institutions or businesses (see the Places API for that). Bear in mind the geocoder can and does return multiple results - how would you check which one was the 'intended' one? How would a live person solve this puzzle? maps.google.com uses more resources than just the geocoder so I wouldn't expect comparable results. It was just pot luck you happened to get the apparently right guess before - if the geocoder has been updated to know more "Kennedy Center" places it'll be in a bigger quandary than it was before. An alternative approach might be to present the reporter with a map with "click to show where you mean", after all they know better than Google. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
