googleway vs ggmap for Denmark

[GNtem2]

@dcooley I ran some searches for Denmark but encountered a problem with googleway whereas this was not an issue with ggmap. I like googleway as it allows me to easily specify traffic model optimistic

The addresses were found by using google maps

Hospital<-"Italiensvej 1 Copenhagen"
Address=c("Rolighedsvej 8, Frederiksberg 84 1958","Søndre Fasanvej 90, 1. sal, Valby 84 2500","Rømersgade 7, 1th, København 84 1362")
google_distance(Address, Hospital, 
                key=key, 
                departure_time=as.POSIXct("2020-12-03 08:15:00 AEST"),
                traffic_model = "optimistic")
Error in value[[3L]](cond) :

Thanks. Yes they are valid. ggmap uses google distance matrix api also found it as well

Do you get any issues using these addresses in the google_geocode() function?

a1 <- google_geocode(address = Address[1])
a2 <- google_geocode(address = Address[2])
a3 <- google_geocode(address = Address[3])
