I am creating a Rails application where I need to find the latitutes and longitutes of places using google maps service. I am using the geocoder gem for this purpose. Seems at times (i.e. for some geographical locations) the geocoder.search
function returns an empty array. For example, when I type in Geocoder.search("Janapriya Nile Valley, Hyderabad, Telangana, India")
it works perfect, but when on another instance I write Geocoder.search("Amazon Development Center, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, Telangana, India")
in my command window, it returns an empty array. I checked this location on google maps and it displays this location perfectly. Has anyone encountered this problem before? What could be the solution?

I tried to use the Google Maps documentation on Geocoding and this too returns a blank array when I make a query: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Amazon+Development+Center,+Gachibowli,+Hyderabad,+Telangana,+India&key=some_key – Rahul Poddar Dec 18 '14 at 10:57
