The "Status" variable, is the response code of the request, which is a simple way to determine what actually happened when the request was performed. The possible response codes are as follows:

  • 200: Successful request (at least one placemark was returned).
  • 400: Bad request (the server was unable to understand the request).
  • 500: Server error (an unknown internal error occurred).
  • 601: Missing query. This means the q parameter was not specified (or was an empty string).
  • 602: Unknown address. This means that the request was performed but no placemarks were found.
  • 603: Unavailable address. The given address could not be returned due to legal or contractual reasons.
  • 610: An invalid Google Maps API key was specified.
  • 620: Too many queries have been performed using the given API key.
