Since the results were not related to Saudi Arabia, added the country restrictions in the api. But it results has Partial Results value True, which refers the results are not accurate and it result has only the default value of Saudi Arabia location

But when the Address of Street/Region is added with Zipcode the geocode works https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=2517+Ar+Riyadh&components=country:SA
Is there is way to force Gmap api to geocode the only with zipcode for the Saudi Arabia country and result is accurate coordinates and Boundary?
