Geocoding Accuracy Levels
The Better Places geocoding endpoint allows to normalise and geocode addresses with highly accurate results that are also validated and improved by real drivers every day.
The quality of geocoding is defined by the accuracy level returned in the accuracy.level field.
The following different accuracy levels are currently supported:
| Accuracy Level | Score | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ADDRESS_POINT | 100 | Address is accurate to the house door or rooftop |
| MANUAL_GEOCODING | 95 | The address was manually geocoded by a Bettermile employee using multiple sources of information. |
| STREET_COORDINATES | 90 | The address was translated to street coordinates derived from the geocoder result. |
| INTERPOLATED_POINT | 80 | Location was calculated using interpolation between two known points. |
| STREET_CENTROID | 50 | Location was geocoded to the center of the street. |
| POSTAL_CENTROID | 30 | Location was geocoded to the center of the postal code. |
| LOCALITY_CENTROID | 10 | Location was geocoded to the center of the locality. |
