Unable to create Request: Bad URL

When i try to look for a location like this: Florida,USA it goes OK, but when i try it like this: Florida USA, i got that error:

Unable to create Request (bad url?)

The problem belongs with the spaces on the location taped, is there any way to resolve that?

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%@&sensor=true",theLocationString];
    //Create a URL object.
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
    ASIFormDataRequest *request=[ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];

I think the problem is that you need to urlencode your string. A space character isn't a valid url string:

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%@&sensor=true",theLocationString];
//Create a URL object.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:
                    NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
ASIFormDataRequest *request=[ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];

If NSASCIIStringEncoding doesn't work you could try: NSUTF8StringEncoding
