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?
