Re: [Google Maps API v2] # symbol / hashtag in Address generates a 400 error "Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request."

As you are from Google, I guess you are ok doing that as per the
terms. The normal free API doesnt generally allow that.

Secondly, and you are ok as per the terms, use url encoding. A # will
be interpreted as a the separator for a fragment, so the part after #
will not reach the server.

Or just strip the # out. It likly doesnt provide any useful
information to the geocoder.
