Some geocoding requests return wrong lat and lon

[koldLight]

This issue will list all the observed request that the cartociudad API is returning wrong geocoding results.

• "cuesta del observatorio 4, 18080 granada", should return 37.190205, -3.5947971. Now is returning 37.18018, -3.5898. Request here

If you observed this behaviour with another address, please add a new comment to this issue with:

• The exact text in your request
• The expected result (e.g. when querying the same text to google maps)

I have a lot of these cases. As a sample:

• “avenida jose solla bouzas 37, soutomaior, Pontevedra, 36690” , should return 42.34897, -8.60646 (Google). Now is returning 42.33488, -8.567259. Request here. But the funny thing is that the server returns "state = 0", not found, but "stateMsg = Resultado exacto de la búsqueda", (see the last line of the request), so what is returning is the centroid of the municipality. It should return "state = 10", "stateMsg = Se devuelve la entidad superior". If I drop "bouzas" from the address, then the server returns the correct coordinates: 42.34096, -8.606041. Request here.

If this is of any help I have a collection of these cases. Too many to list them here.

Those questions should be addressed to the API providers. Our package is a simple, lightweight interface to it.

I have done that already.
Accoding to them I should call the “candidates” service before calling the “find” service. “Candidates” don’t return coordinantes.
I can provide you details if you wish.
