Can mappoint give me a descrptive reason why it wasn't able to geocode the address i passed it? For example, if I give it the following address could I get a description for why the address didn't geocode, such as Geocode Error - Wrong Directional? 2821 PALMETTO AVE SANFORD, FL 32773 ERROR: Geocode Error - Wrong Directional This address should be: 2821 S PALMETTO AVE SANFORD, FL 32773
Hi, Actually MWS interprets this as a correct address and so no error is thrown. Not much that can be done here as its the behaviour of the geocoder. Infact, you can even geocode street names such as: 2821 S PALMETTO AVE 2821 A PALMETTO AVE 2821 T PALMETTO AVE Regards, -- Infusion Development http://www.infusion.com "dhoenig" wrote: > Can mappoint give me a descrptive reason why it wasn't able to geocode the > address i passed it? > > For example, if I give it the following address could I get a description > for why the address didn't geocode, such as Geocode Error - Wrong Directional? > > 2821 PALMETTO AVE > SANFORD, FL 32773 > ERROR: Geocode Error - Wrong Directional > > This address should be: > 2821 S PALMETTO AVE > SANFORD, FL 32773 >
If you are using the Virtualearth mapcontrol API , this information is returned. For wrong directional, or any modification, the API returns a "Modified" code with the result. For more information on VirtualEarth Mapcontrol API -http://www.microsoft.com/virtualearth/?s_cid=0002 -http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429619.aspx Currently there are no plans to expose this in Mappoint webservice.
