title: Google Maps geocode api inconsistencies
body: <p>I'm trying to geocode this address "188th street &amp; third avenue, bronx NY"</p>
  
  <p>If you run this geocode query through the maps api v3 geocoder, you get back 10 or so results, none of which are in new york.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?sensor=false&amp;address=188th%20street%20&amp;%20third%20avenue,%20bronx%20NY" rel="noreferrer">http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?sensor=false&amp;address=188th%20street%20&amp;%20third%20avenue,%20bronx%20NY</a></p>
  
  <p>If you paste that same address into google maps, it takes you directly to the intersection in the bronx.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a reason these results are inconsistent, and is there a way I can get the geocoder to give me the correct result, or at least something in the same state?</p>
  
  <p>(at first i thought it was because 'third' was spelled out, so i replaced it with '3rd'. I still got 10 results with one in NYC. however, it was in queens instead of the bronx.)</p>
