Implementation of Geocoder.ca seems to be wildly off

[Forbin]

While it came back with many results, they were off by quite a bit. I called geocoder.ca and they passed the same string into their system and it came back accurately. For example http://geocoder.ca/?locate=630+University+Ave%2C+Palo+Alto%2C+CA%0994301-2019&geoit=GeoCode works in their system, but when I pass the string "630 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301-2019" your system ( with 'provider' => 'Geocoder\Provider\GeocoderCaProvider') returns 38.3241329,-122.7146332, which is very off. All the results all over the country seem to be off by many many many miles. I am using what I believe to be the proper method (below). Am I doing this wrong?

$location = \Geocoder::geocode($geo_address);
$address_info['coords'] = $location->getLatitude().','.$location->getLongitude();

I do not have issue this this provider. Can you provide a gist about your controller method ?

It could be because I found that Geocoder.ca requires that you purchase credits and I had not done that.

Great that you found what you're looking for !

But the GeocoderCaProvider works normal as you can see:

object(Geocoder\Result\Geocoded)[147]
  protected 'latitude' => float 37.449798
  protected 'longitude' => float -122.157775
  ...

Geocoder.ca provides:

The problem is coming from the way to build the address via your variable: $geo_address.
