It would be nice to know how exactly you have done this (I personally I was almost coming to scraping Google -- somehow) Awesome post API, exactly what I needed have been trying the Yahoo Places API; however it is VERY off on accuracy to a point that it makes it useless by just Postcode which really should be easier to do than address.
