I am using Google Places API to mark the route between 2 places. It is working fine for most of the routes. However, it is not marking route for few routes. This is because "directionsService.route" request is returning "ZERO_RESULTS" status for some of the routes. Below is one of the inputs for which it is not working.
Source A:
South End Circle, Basavanagudi, Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Destination B:
Jayanagar 4 Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Intermediate point C:
Tata Silk Farm, Jayanagar, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Below is the snapshot for what I get when I give the above mentioned locations:
It is not marking the route. What could be the problem?
The directions service can't find directions between those two locations.
Perhaps you should use:
Which provides the formatted_addresses that your question indicated you were providing to the directions service:
The other option would be to use the coordinates of the locations rather than the formatted addresses.
