Yup, address data. You just don't need that data to move the pin. On 6/8/2011 12:05 PM, Serge Wroclawski wrote: On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Steve Coast wrote: In terms of lat,lng, the process already knows the centroid of a parcel. So this is parcel data. What about addressing? Do you ha

Re: [Talk-us] Which county next?

Re: [Talk-us] Which county next?

A few people have requested that. The problem is collusion, what I don't want is people to enter bad data. Showing you random points is one guard. I think selecting the county isn't far from just ordering the batches by county. So I think that places you third on the list. Get clicking! Ste
