[Google Maps API] Data Not Parsed for a Valid Location #1840

Open schaferyan opened 3 months ago

schaferyan commented 3 months ago

An Enterprise Customer shared an example of a Google Maps Search for an address that returns results when using Google Maps directly, but returns empty when using our Google Maps API.

I verified that changing ll seems to have no effect on this behavior.

When performing the search in Google, I noticed the map seems to return first, and then the local results data a moment later. It may be that for some searches an additional call is needed to get the local results data.

@schaferyan , When I change the ll to Wyoming coordinates, I'm able to see the result.

Maps would sometimes serve JSON results through https://www.google.com/search?tbm=map endpoint.
