The address.Locality isn't being set when we know we have a valid address.
One that is failing is Damascus, MD 20872. The regular geocode works fine
and geocodes it to Lat 39.299004971981 Lon -77.2220420837402

But when we run the reserve, the Result.Address.Locality is empty. Other
addresses work fine, so we don't think we have a problem with the code base.
For example, if we use Damascus, MD 20871, it works fine. The lat is
39.2872770130634 lon -77.2003416717052

Any ideas on how to get locality set on a more reliable basis?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

From my knowledge it's just an issue with Bing data and if the locality is
empty then Bing doesn't have it yet. There isn't any documentation on how to
locality values consistantly, and also things like state code constancy from
geocoding (e.g: "NY" or "New York") as text.
