forwardGeocode can't find certain locations

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

Hi, I’m using Native Geocoder’s forwardGeocode to get latitude and longitude of zip codes. It works fine for some zip codes (like 75075 which is Plano, TX) but when I search for some zip codes like 75002 (which is Allen, TX), I get the infamous “Cannot find a location” message.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks.

I noticed that some US zip codes are used in other countries as well (75002 is for Allen, TX as well as Paris, France!), so I have to specify the country in the geocoding.
Anyone know of another way of detecting the user’s country? I’d rather have it auto-detected rather than the having the user pick from a dropdown.
