How well would using CLLocation geocoding work compared to using Socrata's geocoding? #72

Closed WERUreo closed 8 years ago

I'm noticing a lot of strange coordinates for locations that have been geocoded by Socrata. I'd like to try and see how well CLLocation geocoding would work based on the address information we are provided by the data source.

Geocoding would work, mostly. Some of the addresses we have listed in the data source would not work as entered. This would include addresses for locations that actually encompass two separate addresses (i.e. 23-25 W. Church Street for the Hunt-Branson Building). While we could update the addresses in the data source to alleviate that problem, that would really be no different than updating the coordinates themselves. For now, we'll just stick with using the geocoded locations already provided by the data source.
