QA provided me with another example today that they ran into...

Reverse Geocode:     Lat: 38.211262    Lon:  -81.782959
Forward Geocode:     Ridgeview, WV 25169, USA

My question is, why is the address (Ridgeview, WV 25169, USA) returned
for (38.211262, -81.782959), when there are cities/towns that are
closer to (38.211262, -81.782959)?  What could I do to handle this
type of problem?  Should I set a threshold for ‘Accuracy’ that is
provided in the return result and implement some logic that would hide
addresses if they are not found to be above a certain level of
accuracy?  What best practices do you recommend?
