It is wrongly formatted. There are brackets around the coordinates which cause some random interpretation of the coordinates on the server side.\r\n2. The viewbox parameter is always added. This is bad because the viewbox parameter changes the search query to a geographically restricted query. It changes which results are shown and in which order they appear. The fact that the default spans the entire planet means that you get the results pretty much a random order instead in order of their importance. viewbox should only be added when explicitly requested."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/geopy/geopy/issues/comments/120096769","html_url":"https://github.com/geopy/geopy/issues/135#issuecomment-120096769","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/geopy/geopy/issues/135","id":120096769,"user":{"login":"m0zes","id":592874,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/592874?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes","html_url":"https://github.com/m0zes","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/m0zes/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-09T18:30:41Z","updated_at":"2015-07-09T18:30:41Z","body":"It is not in common with OpenMapQuest at all.
