[android-developers] Re: Help - Gecoding is failing on a regular basis - does anyone else notice this?

I use Geocoding a lot and measure the rate of failure in the field.
Within my App I will try a particular request up to 5 times before
declaring failure with a target of satisfying >95% of requests. I've
been hitting that service level consistently over the last 3 months.

If anything I would say that my perception is that it has improved
recently - but this may be due to increasing geographic spread rather
than an improvement at a particular location.
