Geolocation returning 0,0 for all addresses

[sparky672]

I have two CodeIgniter projects both using the same version of your software. Neither project is using an API key. Both take a street address and use Google Maps geolocation to get coordinates.

Both projects worked fine until recently and none of my code has changed. On one project, the geolocation coordinates for ALL addresses are coming back 0,0 with no error message.

$this->load->library('googlemaps');
$location = $data['this_event']['location']; // street address
$geocode = $this->googlemaps->get_lat_long_from_address($location);
$config_map = array(
    'center'    => $location,
    'map_width'  => '375px',
    'map_height' => '300px',
    'map_type'    => 'TERRAIN',
    'zoom'    => 13,
    'ontilesloaded' => 'iw_map.setContent(marker_0.get("content"));'
);
$marker_map = array(
    'position'    => $location,
    'infowindow_content'  => '<div class="infobox">' . $location . '</div>'
);
$this->googlemaps->initialize($config_map);
$this->googlemaps->add_marker($marker_map);
$data['map'] = $this->googlemaps->create_map();

And then in the rendered view, I'm getting latitude and longitude as 0, 0 in the generated JavaScript.

var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0);

I'm at a loss trying to figure out why it's suddenly failing in one of my two websites.

Something must have changed with how Google interprets the street address. Where the name of the business used to be ignore/acceptable is now causing geolocation to return 0,0 lat/lng coordinates.

Everything works fine when the name of the business is removed from the street address string.
