What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Geocode this address "3/193 Kent St, New Farm QLD 4005, Australia"
2. This address has the address accuracy of 9/Premise which is not
supported by the GoogleAddressAccuracy class
3. It will incorrectly report the accuracy as unknown.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the accuracy to state that it is at a premise level.

Hi,

I found a bug in FromCoordinates method of GoogleGeoCoder class. When
you run the code under different culture setting then en-US (cs-CZ in
my case) you get "Input string was not in a correct format exception"
at line 66:
double longitude = double.Parse(coordinates[0]);

Possible fix:
        private Location FromCoordinates(string[] coordinates)
        {
            CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
            double longitude = double.Parse(coordinates[0],
(IFormatProvider)ci.NumberFormat);
            double latitude = double.Parse(coordinates[1],
(IFormatProvider)ci.NumberFormat);
            Location gpsCoordinates = new Location(latitude,
longitude);
            return gpsCoordinates;
        }

Please note I have not read the documentation of the Google GeoCoding
API so I only suppose the format of the returned coordinates is en-
US.

Thanks
Leos

When using the distance feature of this API i found that the distances
provided are wrong if you're requesting results in 'Kilometers'

The reason being that the EarthRadiusInKilometers value is set to 3438.147.
This is wrong, the earth's radius in Kilometers is 6378.2. (as found here:
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa501849.aspx )

I couldn't find a mailing list for this project so i'm just posting this
here...

I just tried out this library and ran into a problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I run the following to get coordinates for an address and it fails:
IGeoCoder geoCoder = new GoogleGeoCoder();
List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.GeoCode("c/o Yavapai College, 601 Black 
Hills Drive, Bldg I-141, Clarkdale, AZ 86324").ToList<Address>();


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected this function to return an Address object with coordinates

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using version 1.0.0.0 (downloaded today, this version number is the version 
number defined in the assembly, the download page I got it from on 
code.google.com said it was version 2.1.1) on Windows 7 64-bit (and .NET 
Framework 4)

Please provide any additional information below.

Here is the error type and message:
ArgumentException, 
"Value cannot be empty.
Parameter name: types"

Here is the stack trace:
   at GeoCoding.Google.GoogleAddressComponent..ctor(GoogleAddressType[] types, String longName, String shortName)

Hi,
   i am doing a project in that i have a latitude and longitude values now i want a location name can any one help me..

This library uses v2 from Google. They discontinued it on the 9/9/2013.

https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/geocodingupgrade:

This document is intended for developers migrating to version 3 ("v3") of the 
Geocoding API. Version 2 ("v2") of the Geocoding API was officially deprecated 
on 8 March 2010 and has now been turned down. As of 9 September 2013 the v2 API 
will no longer work.

is it possible to search in another language with this lib?

Return the view spot that google and microsoft returns

The Yahoo Geocoder is using the wrong URL.

It is using 
http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?location={0}&appid={1}

The correct URL would be http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?q={0}&appid={1}

This is per http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/placefinder/

Add method(s) to IGeoCoder to fetch a static map. 

 - Yahoo: http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/
 - Microsoft: http://community.softteq.com/blogs/nick/archive/2009/01/11/the-
virtual-earth-web-services-are-slow.aspx (remove "staging.")
 - Google: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/

I am developing an application that uses your IGeoCoder API. Very handy.

However I am developing it on a network that sits behind an authenticated
proxy server. When executing IGeoCoder.GeoCode() I get a
System.Net.WebException - "The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy
Authentication Required."

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call IGeoCoder.GeoCode() from behind an authenticated proxy server (I am
using the GoogleGeoCoder implementation)
2. Aw, snap.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect an Address[] object back - instead I get a System.Net.WebException.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
http://geocoding-net.googlecode.com/files/geocoding.net_Release_v1.1.0.31.zip

Windows XP / Visual Studio 2008 / ASP.NET 3.5 for development.

Please provide any additional information below.
This should be easy enough to fix, done it in my own applications, but
happy to test any proposed fixes here. Would actually be happy to fix it if
you're pushed for time.

Not really a defect, it'll be a nice and useful feature to capture County in 
the address too.

In class GoogleGeoCoder method RetrieveAddress, the 'county' is being 
captured from 'adr:SubAdministrativeAreaName' field in the geocode result, 
but  this variable is not used. In fact, Address class does not have a 
property for County.

I am using version 1.1.

Thanks in advance.
Amin Emami

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Look for "County" in Address result type
2. Notice it does not exist

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
County should be part of the response when geocoding service includes the 
information. Bing maps does.

Latest as of 3/21/12

Please provide any additional information below.

Add IP geocoding

The new version does not require the API key and the result xml is 
formatted differently. 

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/

Add the ability to reverse geocode a lat/lng pair. I know it is possible 
in Google passing a comma separated value in the "address" but I haven’t 
looked at the other two providers. The new version 3 of Google maps API 
has a different request lat/lng vs. address parameter in the query.

Not really a 'defect' but I couldn't open an issue as any other type... ?


Anyway, since we're implementing "enum GoogleStatusCode"... Why don't we
have all possible situations... ? I could extend the current list to:


    public enum GoogleStatusCode
    {
        Success = 200,
        BadRequest = 400,
        ServerError = 500,
        MissingAddress = 601,
        UnknownAddress = 602,
        UnavailableAddress = 603,
        BadKey = 610,
        TooManyQueries =620
    }

Personally, I'm getting my application to throttle if we find a 620... ;)

Hi, I am trying to use your code on one of my websites that calls google to
return a single address for the Longitude and Latitude. It worked for
around four weeks before it started returning an error. I have tested the
code from several different servers and all work except for the one that
has been running for four weeks. 

The error displayed says that the GeoCode addresses[] does not have an
object. At the moment it looks like the GeoCode is not recieving any reply
from Google or Yahoo (I have tried both including a combination).

I understand that the issue may be server that I am running it on as it is
the only one that I have the issue with, but I was wondering if anyone else
has had this issue where not reply is found from the Google or Yahoo APIs

Note: The error happens intermittently, at some stages it works and then
doesnt at others.

Make a package and publish to the Nuget-repository.
