Geocoder accuracy ranking
- Finding an address on a map is sometimes tricky: the chosen map application may be unfamiliar with the enclosed region. There are several geocoders on the market, they have different databases and algorithms to compute the query. Consequently, the geocoding results differ in their quality. Fortunately the geocoders provide a rich set of metadata. The workflow described in this paper compares this metadata with the aim to find out which geocoder is offering the best-fitting coordinate for a given address.
