In ACDF, a route from anywhere to Saanich Peninsula Hospital at 2166 MOUNT NEWTON CROSS ROAD, SAANICHTON results in a Route not found error.

We did a test in betweenPairs demo app which confirmed correct operation of Route Planner as follows:

Brian geocoded 2166 Mt Newton Cross Rd to get a parcelPoint which he then fed into a custom betweenPairs request and it failed, giving a Route no found error. He then looked at a map of the parcelPoint as follows:

and realized the parcel is very big and the parcelPoint was likely beyond snapping tolerance to Mt Newton Cross Rd . He proposed that the issue resolution is simply to use the accessPoint of the hospital address (48.5941505, -123.407082), not the parcelPoint in ACDF

imapbc puts 2166 mount newton cross road here: but the hospital with that address is actually the pink parcel (Crown Provincial Ownership) whereas the yellow parcels are Privately owned. the parcels have different PIDs. i am confused...

We just take the parcelPoint the muni (Central Saanich) gives us. In any case, the issue resolution is the same because the parcel centroid of the correct parcel is also beyond snapping distance of the road.

the ACDF addresses are being run through the ALE once a month before re-loading. what does the address list editor use - accesspoint as opposed to parcelpoint? there is a need to be consistent, i would think.

looking at the muni's map they have those two parcels under the same address;

ALE returns parcelPoints. You could use the batch geocoder. It allows you to specify a locationDescriptor of accessPoint. Saanich Peninsula Hospital is probably the only location in your list on that big a parcel so you could just plug the access point coordinates from this ticket (see above) into your csv file after you've processed it in the ALE. But, to be safe, and avoid confusion, batch geocoder is better.

maybe that's the issue then. i'll try the batch geocoder and see if it fixes the issue.

accessPoint (red dot)versus parcelPoint (pin) as geocoded by address search in imapBC:

Testing the data once it's loaded to DLV and TST tomorrow.

Red dot looks good for routing!

locationDescriptor of "accessPoint" when geocoding has fixed the Saan Pen Hospital issue the end users were seeing in ACDF. thanks for the assistance in tracking down the cause of the issue.

Woo hoo!!
