  My apologies, I see the ambiguity now in what I wrote. Regarding the typo, I expected to get a "not found" answer, as "not found" is a better answer than being pointed to somewhere meaningless. I did not expect typo correction, though that would certainly be nice for some cases. I see now that the search gives the same location as "Göteborg", so may be the default locations of the city. If so, that's odd because it's not near the center of the city. Nor is it the default address for "Göteborg", as "dalkegatan, Göteborg" goes to some place near Göteborgsvägen on the east side of town. For that matter, "dalkegatan Göteborg" (without the comma) goes to some place on the west side of town. Given these variations, it's hard for me to trust when an answer is correct, other than by double-checking the results manually.

    In this case it is a city match: http://geocode.xyz/Aveyn,%20G%C3%B6teborg?geoit=xml http://geocode.xyz/Aveyn,%20G%C3%B6teborg?geoit=xml <geodata> <latt>57.67100</latt> <longt>11.97980</longt> <standard> <addresst/> <prov>SE</prov> <city>GöTeborg</city> <postal/> <confidence>0.70</confidence> </standard> </geodata> The geoparser also looks for city names, and by checking the response you can see that only the city name was matched. Having said that, it is also true that we have less data coverage for Sweden (compared to some other countries that provide open address data). Our responses will be about as good as the data we have, and openstreetmap does not have 100% coverage in Sweden either.

      How is it that "dalkegatan, Göteborg" and "dalkegatan Göteborg" give very different locations, neither of which is the city match location?

        Thanks for pointing this out. It was a bug which is now fixed.
