| Subject: | API vs Google Maps |
This is not a bug in G:C:G, however I'm raising this for your opinion.
The following URL fails:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Wisdom+Hospice+High+Bank+Rochester+Kent+England&key=AIzaSyBwb2_9KgPAa0VZU7PRYe_6Yv8qvu2vcjw
As a result this program fails:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Geo::Coder::Google;
use Data::Dumper;
my $gcg = Geo::Coder::Google->new(apiver => 3);
my @l = $gcg->geocode(location => 'Wisdom Hospice, High Bank, Rochester, Kent, England');
print Data::Dumper->new([@l])->Dump();
And yet, if I search for "wisdom hospice high bank rochester kent england" at google maps it works giving this:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wisdom+Hospice/@51.3725664,0.5071468,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47d8cce4198bb5ed:0xcc28f53d7161955d!8m2!3d51.3725631!4d0.5093408
Thoughts?
