Hello.

We caught the issue about Google maps api for distance.

On December 19, 2023, we tried to get distance from the place whose address is "神奈川県川崎市川崎区池上新町３－１－４ＧＬＰ川崎３Ｆ" but several requests failed.

On January 9, 2024, we used GoogleMaps API with the following command and got a response like "Address is not found".

''' command
curl -L -X GET 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=神奈川県川崎市川崎区池上新町３－１－４ＧＬＰ川崎３Ｆ&destinations=群馬県館林市赤生田田向３５７０&units=imperial&key='$GOOGLEMAP_API_KEY

"$GOOGLEMAP_API_KEY" is my key for google map usage.
'''

However, we have found the followings.
1. If we remove "ＧＬＰ川崎３Ｆ"("ＧＬＰ川崎" is the name of building) from address in the command(like the following), we can get normal response.
''' command
curl -L -X GET 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=神奈川県川崎市川崎区池上新町３－１－４&destinations=群馬県館林市赤生田田向３５７０&units=imperial&key='$GOOGLEMAP_API_KEY
'''
2. In GoogleMaps browser app, we can reach the place without changing the address.(https://www.google.co.jp/maps/dir/神奈川県川崎市川崎区池上新町３－１－４ＧＬＰ川崎３Ｆ)

Our questions are
1. Should we remove name of building like "ＧＬＰ川崎３Ｆ" from addresses?
2. Why the address is not found only in GoogleMaps API?

Thank you for reading this issue, and hope will be answered sooner.
