Map address not found in smugmug, but ok in Google

mbrady

So I'm playing around with the new photo geography stuff and ran into something odd with the Google maps that smugmug is using. If I try to attache this address to a photo: 15701 Volcano-Pioneer Road, Volcano, California, 95689
It says that the address is not found. However, if I just go to maps.google.com and do the exact same search, it finds it without problem. Since smugmug uses Google maps, shouldn't it be the same search result? Weird!


UPDATE:
I just realized that when I use regular google maps, it decides that the address is actually in Pine Grove, CA instead of Volcano, CA. The actual map location does appear to be correct. Apparantly the interface to google maps that smugmug uses needs that exact match, which makes sense. I was just thrown off by the "auto fix" that maps.google.com did. Although technically it's wrong. It's a Volcano, CA address, but that's an issue for Google, not smugmug.

FURTHER UPDATE:
So now when I take to "revised" address that maps.google.com produces (15701 Volcano Pioneer Rd, Pine Grove, CA 95665) and plop that into smugmug's address search, it's still not found. So that pretty much leaves me back at my original observation, just with a different address.

We don't use Google's address lookup function because they don't provide it through their API. We'd love to use it because it's better than anyone else's, but maybe that's why Google keeps it to themselves, I dunno.

Just out of curiousity, whose geocoder are you using?
