Summary:
When calculating directions to an end location that was acquired from a CLGeocoder forward geocode, the request often fails with the error "Cannot locate the end location."

Removing the postal code from the geocoded address appears to solve the issue, but this is unfortunately not a viable workaround since many cities have duplicate street names, and require the postal code to differentiate the location.

The issue appears to be limited to iOS 9 (the provided demo code works fine in iOS 8).

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the code below:

    CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
    [geocoder geocodeAddressString:@"170 Stevenson St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA" completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
        MKPlacemark *sourcePlacemark = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(37.769174, -122.423236) addressDictionary:nil];
        
        MKDirectionsRequest *request = [[MKDirectionsRequest alloc] init];
        request.source = [[MKMapItem alloc] initWithPlacemark:sourcePlacemark];
        request.destination = [[MKMapItem alloc] initWithPlacemark:[placemarks firstObject]];
        
        MKDirections *directions = [[MKDirections alloc] initWithRequest:request];
        [directions calculateDirectionsWithCompletionHandler:^(MKDirectionsResponse *response, NSError *error) {
            NSLog(@"response: %@, error: %@", response, error);
        }];
    }];

Expected Results:
The log output contains an MKDirectionsResponse object, e.g.:

2015-10-05 11:34:39.936 MapDirectionsDemo[468:361652] response: <MKDirectionsResponse: 0x17046d800>, error: (null)

Actual Results:
The log output contains an NSError object, e.g.:

2015-10-05 11:23:50.969 MapDirectionsDemo[2681:939786] response: (null), error: Error Domain=MKErrorDomain Code=5 "Directions Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Cannot locate the end location., MKErrorGEOError=-403, MKDirectionsErrorCode=4, NSLocalizedDescription=Directions Not Available}

Version:
iOS 9.0.2 [13A452]

Configuration:
iPhone 6 64GB Verizon, iOS 9.0.2
