Hi,
I am trying to use Azure Map for geocoding cities and it looks like I am doing something wrong because the result is not really the one wanted.
Can you please help in getting a more accurate result?
I tried those two :
https://atlas.microsoft.com/search/address/json?api-version=1.0&query=%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC&subscription-key=<key>
This works even it looks like a space is also added.
