Different result from google maps V3 api's than found on the maps.google.com ?

[nitin murkute]

Hi All

Can somebody explain me why results on maps.google.com differs from
the example on
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/v3-geocoder-tool.html


??
Try entering following address in both the places and see the
different result location.

mocha mayas, 105 Main Street, Shelburne Falls, MA, 01370


Is it anything to do with bounds or viewport specification? If yes how
you specify it in api?

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance...

var southWest = new google.maps.LatLng(42.639497406239926,
-72.823620202771);
var northEast = new google.maps.LatLng(42.54699229637924,
-72.603893640271);
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(southWest, northEast);

geocoder.geocode(
{ 'address': $("#address").val(),'bounds':
bounds },
function (results, status) {}
);


Still I am not getting the desired result.
Can you help?

Thanks in advance...

Code for what?

The Google Maps result is returning a different address it (it uses
other sources of data such as local search).
The Google Maps API geocoder is geocoding the address you are giving
it.

Or if you already know what result you want, use it directly and don't
geocode it.

How do you think we can use those local search in API?

Please check the address I have given in first post on both the
website, one google maps and other is google api example.
You will see the difference.

What I want is the Api should return result like the google map.

Can you help?

Then give it the correct address. The API geocoder is ignoring the
business name.

There is a separate Local Search API, with its own terms of use:
