Re: [Google Maps API v2] Re: Google Maps Geo giving JSONP error Unexpected token : or invalid label

Same problem as the OP. You're using an undocumented and unsupported URL. Just change your code to use the documented google.maps.Geocoder methods and it will work fine (subject to other conditions such as rate limits of course):

I'm getting the same error, it worked fine until a few weeks ago.
Something must have changed on the Google side. It's their old API
version though, says it's deprecated since 2010 I think, not sure why
my developer used that version and not the new one V3. Ugh!
