title: Google Map V3 Postal Code not returned
body: <p>I have a problem with google geocoding result</p>
  
  <p>I'm geocoding French Cities and want to get their Postal Code</p>
  
  <p>My problem is Google response with all the data EXCEPT the postal code</p>
  
  <p>For example for Achère City, i get the address_components results :</p>
  
  <pre><code>[
  Object { long_name="Cachan", short_name="Cachan", types=[2]}, 
  Object { long_name="Val-de-Marne", short_name="94", types=[2]}, 
  Object { long_name="Île-de-France", short_name="IDF", types=[2]}, 
  Object { long_name="France", short_name="FR", types=[2]}
  ] 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So i get the city name, the "States" name and number and the country name</p>
  
  <p>All the results are "Good" except no response for postal code returned</p>
  
  <p>My problem is ... I only need the postal code :(</p>
  
  <p>I searched on SO and Google docs ( a real jungle, most of their reference data are really not well doccumented ( when it is documented or up to date for V3 ) ) ...</p>
  
  <p><strong>1st Edit :</strong>
  And just found it's not the only problem ...
  An other French City give me this returned response :</p>
  
  <pre><code>[
  Object { long_name="Angers", short_name="Angers", types=[2]}, 
  Object { long_name="Maine-et-Loire", short_name="Maine-et-Loire", types=[2]}, 
  Object { long_name="Pays de la Loire", short_name="Pays de la Loire", types=[2]}, 
  Object { long_name="France", short_name="FR", types=[2]}
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As i can't get the Postal code ( returned only when google is in a good day ) i'm using the 2 digits French State returned</p>
  
  <p>For the first city it return : </p>
  
  <pre><code>Object { long_name="Val-de-Marne", short_name="94", types=[2]}, 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For the second city, the same line is </p>
  
  <pre><code>Object { long_name="Maine-et-Loire", short_name="Maine-et-Loire", types=[2]}, 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The value i need is the "94" as given for the 1st city, but not returned by the second city ...</p>
  
  <p>Is there really no possibility to get every data details for every geocoding and for example get some blank when google don't have the data</p>
  
  <p>Because in the present case, it is hard to make a rule working for every returned result  ...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, i'm totally lost with it</p>
  
  <p><strong>2nd Edit :</strong> 
  Seems google return the postal code ... when it wants, i get it for 1 city every ... 10 or 15 cities ( not a problem of localisation as google find adresse, lat, lng etc for EVERY cities i try, just have the problem with the postal code )</p>
