Verifying the latitude and longitude data #151

Closed ArthurSmid closed 3 years ago

ArthurSmid commented 3 years ago

The latitude and longitude data in Airtable recently got a bulk update and when you click onto the map in some places it will open outside of Denver (on the category page for Food) and zooming out, some pins are on the east coast. I only just began looking into this and the first pin I looked at for the Eugene area was also far away from the actual street address.

Using LocationIQ, place the street address in the required parameters "Search query" field, and the map responds with a pin. You can source the latitude and longitude by clicking on the pin and copying them from the card that pops up: https://locationiq.com/sandbox/geocoding/forward

After verifying that the provider's pin on the map is on their building, enter the latitude and longitude into Airtable. Next, there's a "Lat/Long Pin Verified" column in the Help Services table of our Airtable database: enter a Y in the field.
