Location data

[LONGBOW7757]

I see you're using some sort of location data, but this does not line up with NBN location data and the real address location. For example, 233 Parry St Charleville QLD is actually located across the street from the high school, but shows up on the upgrade map as on the corner of Eyre and Watson street along with 4 other addresses. Could you use location data provided by NBN to place these points on the map, as I have found they are generally more accurately placed?

We are using the G-NAF dataset from the Australian government to get street address coordinates. I think it could be a good investigation to compare the NBN and G-NAF recorded coordinates and see if there is an easy way to determine which is most accurate.

Another issue with using the G-NAF dataset is that you might not get all NBN locations. For example, a location that doesn't use a street address, or doesn't use it primarily, to identify the NBN location may not show up on the map. Charleville Racecourse Complex Room Scout Evac 27-29 Partridge St with LOC of LOC100078628536

I'm not aware of a dataset containing every NBN LOCID which would allow for such an approach hence why we use street address data from GNA-F and match it to a LOCID using the NBN API and cache it.

Have a look at the datasets available at: https://nbn.rinseout.org/attribution.php/ Map link: https://nbn.rinseout.org/

Maybe this could be useful? There is still the issue of not all NBN locations are showing, but the location data provided on this map is more accurate. Still some wrong locations but more than 95% of locations are accurate whereas the G-NAF locations have more inconsistencies.
