I think my response would depend on how you phrased the question.

If you said “here’s an address, how would you parse it?” it would feel like the purpose of the interview is to use this task to see how I could. Saying Google Maps then seems quite facile.

If you said something like “you’re writing a web app and have been asked to add a new feature that would parse the submitted address and do X with it. Delivery of this feature is urgent. How would you parse the address?” then Google Maps seems like a much more natural answer.

I think the difficulty with such tasks is that it can be hard for the candidate to know what the confines of the test environment are - what kind of response is expected etc
