Do you mean to say that you could get multiple results back for different locations with exactly the same "formatted_address"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.

[Google Maps API v3] Geocoder now gives multiple results where it used not to
I have a website which uses the Google geocoder to determine coordinates from an address. Disambuguation is resolved in the case of multiple results being returned by displaying a list of all returned "formatted_address" which the user can then select. I then use this to populate the search box (for future search purposes) and use the location for that address. Suddenly (since yesterday, 18th July) all subsequent geocode lookups using the exact address string selected by the user on the first lookup also produce multiple results. This was not the case before yesterday. For example, a search for Bradford (with the bounds limited to the UK) returns three results... Bradford, UK Trafford, UK Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, UK Selecting "Bradford, UK" and using this as the address parameter for another search returns FOUR results... Bradford, UK Trafford, UK Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, UK Bradford, Greater Manchester M11, UK What's going on? Did the release on 18th cause an "unexpected" effect? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.

[Google Maps API v3] ClientLogin problem.
Hi,
Unlike many here, I am relatively new to Google APIs, so I beg your
patience.
I am currently tasked with implementing a mapping system which will use
Fusion Tables. I have successfully uploaded tables using the Google UI, and
written my code to display the map and the FusionTables layer. However, I
now need to be able to update the tables programmatically rather than
through the Google UI. Clearly this means being able to get my application
to log in and upload the data, but I am currently not having any success
with the login process.
I am sending a POST request to the Google accounts service using VB as
follows (stripped down to its basics)...
Dim webRequest As WebRequest = webRequest.Create("
https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin";)
webRequest.Method = "POST"
webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Dim requestStream As Stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream()
Dim streamWriter As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(requestStream)
streamWriter.Write(Server.UrlEncode("
accountType=GOOGLE&Email=&Passwd=&service=fusiontables&source=
"))
streamWriter.Flush()
streamWriter.Close()
requestStream.Close()
' Get the response from the remote server...
Dim webResponse As WebResponse = webRequest.GetResponse()
...
Where is my Google account email address, is my Google
account password, and is something I made up to
represent the application.
The GetResponse() is throwing a 403 "Forbidden" *exception* whether I
include the content or not. I did expect from the documentation that I
should get a response with an error message and a "url giving more
information".
My questions are...
1) Am I correct in thinking that I should be authenticating using my Google
account credentials, or are special credentials required for using Fusion
Tables?
2) If special credentials are required, how do I go about obtaining these?
3) If sepecial credentials are not required, can anyone point out any
problems with the above code? I have redirected the url to one of our own
sites and the posted content certainly looks exactly as it should!
Many thanks in advance, David.
