Structured/Formatted Address Fields, API v3.0

[LLD]

Hi!

There were a few posts on this issue in June/July, and Julian said the
team was working on an improvement of the google contacts UI and/or
the implementation of heuristics to map the structured and formatted
address fields.

In short, the problem is that client apps that only know structured
addresses face big challenges to implement a synchronization with
google contacts. The API v3.0 knows structured address fields, but
relying on these is dangerous since updates to the address infos by
the user in the google UI destroy all structured address info.

Can google provide any info about when what kind of solution will be
implemented? Will the google UI show the structured address? Will
there be heuristics? When?

Thanks alot

Roland

Hi Roland,

Unfortunately, there is not much to share about this as today, there
will be heuristic parsing and we are still working on it. As soon as
new information comes available we will post it in the group.

Thank you for your patience.
