Find a Location by Query

Question

Hi All,

I'm using following request:

http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?o=xml&q=Montreal, QUEBEC, CA&key={key}

I recieve two records: 

1)  Montreal, QC
Latitude = 45.512401580810547
Longitude = -73.554679870605469

2) Montréal, QC
Latitude = 45.521587371826172
Longitude = -73.684814453125

As you can see these results are different (names and lat/lon). Do you know how to reduce the number of results to one (but not by using parameter maxResults)?

I have also this issue in other coutries like Poland, Germany... In US everything is working fine - always one result.

If should I ask this questions somewhere else, please let me know.

Thanks

Pgan

Answer 1

This was raised one another thread already. This is a multiple entry that will be corrected in a future data update. Both entries are valid, I recommend just choosing the first one.

I haven't been informed of a timeline for this yet. Note that releases are normally not made publically known.
