From reading the logs for my mapping site, I noticed that the application was blowing for many addresses outside the United States. I did a little more research, and discovered that the bug was in handling some special characters, like “ø, á, í, é, È, ž, ù, ý”.
As a test case, I created a map of points from around the world that I found in the logs. Each of these queries caused an error.

It turns out the fix was very simple; I just needed to set the code up to be able to parse these characters. Now, the queries in my test case all work, so I think we should be all set. Of course, please let me know if you have any problems, either in the comments for this post, or via email.
