I've been doing some work with Google's geocoder, encoding addresses into co-ordinates for mapping purposes. Google uses an 9-point enum that is specified as a human-understandable scale rather than specific geographical terms: 0 Unknown location. 1 Country level accuracy. 2 Region (state, province, prefecture, etc.) level accuracy. 3 Sub-region (county, municipality, etc.) level accuracy. 4 Town (city, village) level accuracy. 5 Post code (zip code) level accuracy. 6 Street level accuracy. 7 Intersection level accuracy. 8 Address level accuracy. ref: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GGeoAddressAccuracy -Ciaran McNulty _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
