As far as I can tell the rooftop geocode for 120 North Illinois St, South Bend, IN should be: 41.6759,-86.3007 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=41.67590094684698,-86.30070805549621&sll=41.675947,-86.300955&sspn=0.001014,0.001609&g=120+North+Illinois+St,+South+Bend,+IN&ie=UTF8&ll=41.675915,-86.300673&spn=0.001014,0.001609&t=h&z=19 The geocoder returns: http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=120%20North%20Illinois%20St,%20South%20Bend,%20IN&geocode=1 Found 1 results [ 0 ]: 120 S Illinois St, South Bend, IN 46619, USA (41.675222, -86.300927) Which is 246 ft down the road. http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=120%20North%20Illinois%20St,%20South%20Bend,%20IN&geocode=1&addr2=(41.6759,-86.3007)&geocode=2 I don't know that there is anything you can do about this other than storing the real coordinates in your database, rather than using the geocoder to find them. -- Larry > > On Aug 9, 2:51 pm, Rossko <[email protected]> wrote: > > > So the basis of complaint is that the geocoder is not accurate.
