Hi, I know this isn't strictly an API question, but...
Using the Maps API, we geocode address information in our database. A short time ago, we sent all of our address data to a data warehouse that cleaned up the data and returned it to us--they were able to include a 1-5 rating by the Post Office as to the deliverability of the address: 1 means the address can be delivered to; 5 means it cannot, and 2-4 represent the varying degrees of confidence. I've discovered that a fair number of the addresses the Post Office considers "deliverable" cannot be found by Google Maps geocoding--even if I just go to maps.google.com and punch in the address manually. The addresses are not PO Boxes, and certainly look like normal addresses--they are also all in the U.S., if that matters. Is this just a matter of Google Maps not being all-knowing? Or does this (gulp) mean that Google Maps has *better* data than the Post Office? Thanks in advance for any insight. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
