Excellent pricing on this. But i just ran my house on it and it was off by 10 houses while proclaiming perfect accuracy. The Google answer was exact. The other party was off by 1 house. Is this because of the underlying data from OSM?
- thecodemonkey 10y agoHi Tim. Mathias from geocod.io here. Can you please drop us a line at hello AT geocod.io would love to look into what happened there. We're using Tiger/Line and Rooftop-level (through OpenAddresses) datasets under the hood. We do not use OSM as it's generally not optimized for geocoding.
- maxerickson 10y agoIt's a little odd to mention Tiger/Line and optimized for geocoding in the same sentence. Tiger/Line is specifically obscured to protect the anonymity of individuals that live in low density areas. It's de-optimized for geocoding before it is published for public access. It seems pretty likely that's the issue above. Of course OSM is not a great source of addresses either, as it simply doesn't have data for so many regions.
