What do you mean by "use the location"? I do not have a correct lat/ long, but I do have a complete address. Even though I know where this one address should be and that the current map is wrong, I do not have the lat/long and I need to make sure that the hundreds of addresses I have are all mapped correctly. 5 city blocks in a city like Edmonton canada is more than "slightly" off.
