# Address validation problem

 * Hi
 * I was trying your plugin. It works great, but there is an issue with google detection
   depending on the address, with special characters.
 * For example, i was trying with a street called “Jose Hernandez” in spanish but
   Google wasn’t detecting it, so the shipping methods were not showing.
 * I had to add the accent marks like this: “José Hernández” and after that, it 
   worked.
    It seems you should type it exactly as appears on Google.
 * Is it possible to not take the accent marks (and/or special characters) in consideration?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello, google geocoding should be taking care of that. But maybe with special
   characters google have moore exact information, it could also depend of other
   address input you are sending. If you give me ful adress i can check what is 
   happening.

 * Thanks for answering.
 * I was receiving this message till yesterday.. “GEOCODING []” But I tried again
   today, and the response was ok. So I don’t understand what happened. It is like
   random.
    It used to work only when i added the accent marks. Ok, let’s say that
   is fixed.
 * I have another question..
 * I realize that your plugin is not using the Zip code and the State I set in the
   checkout fields. Is that the way Google works? I could made up a zip code and
   it will accept the address anyway.
 * I have this as store address:
    Jose Hernandez 2080, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 
   ZIP 1426
 * And 2 test zones: Zone 1 and Zone 2.
    Address inside Zone 1: Ohiggins 1700, Buenos
   Aires, Argentina, ZIP 1426 Address inside Zone 2: Zabala 2100, Buenos Aires, 
   Argentina, ZIP 1426
 * Just after typing the street name and number, the correct zone appears.
 * But, right after that, I can select any State and an non existent zip code ex:
   999999 and it gives no error.
 * Is there a way to use those fields as validators too?
 * Thanks!
