Original issue reported on code.google.com by Aleda.Fr...@state.ma.us on 17 Dec 2012 at 4:09

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently OLIVER uses the Bing geocoding service.  According to our counts 
approximately 200 geocodes per day go to this service.  The service provides 
very flexible address parsing.  Misspellings are often corrected and landmark 
names (Fenway Park) are accepted and valid.  The service was chosen to provide 
region-wide geocoding as the original sponsors of the OLIVER reworking from 
Java Web Start to OpenLayers wanted to use the application across New England.  
However, the service is not based on the most up-to-date roads data that 
MassGIS provides.

Therefore we would like to provide an alternative geocoding option on the UI.  
(presumably one or the other would be turned on although in certain cases both 
could be turned on).  Since we probably can't provide such flexible parsing 
(can we? if Soundex is available it might be good to use it) we propose that 
instead of a free-form input box that we add a tool with an appropriate icon 
(maybe a pushpin) that pops up a form where the user would be guided to fill 
out certain fields:  Address (includes street number, street name and street 
suffix in any format), City, Zip, State.  Address is mandatory and either City 
or Zip is mandatory.  State is optional.  The request is composed into an XML 
request and posted to the ArcGIS Server geocoding service described here: 
https://wiki.state.ma.us/confluence/display/massgis/ArcGIS+Server+-+Geocoding 
using the GeocodeAddress method (which returns one result, not candidates).  
Similar to the Bing service a window should be popped up before zooming which 
displays the information to the user and offers buttons "zoom to center point", 
"zoom to region", "cancel" just as Bing does and with the same logic (distances 
or zoom level) as Bing.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Requests to geocode addresses must contain a street address including address 
number and either a city or zipcode.  The request may contain all 4 elements of 
address, city, zipcode, state. 

Street types may be written out or abbreviated, with punctuation or without.

Samples:

- 1 Ashburton Pl, 02108

- 1 Ashburton Pl, Boston

- 1 Ashburton Pl, Boston, 02108

- 1 Ashburton Pl, Boston, MA 02108

- 1 Ashburton Place, Boston, MA 02108

- 1 Ashburton Pl., Boston, MA 02108

- 100 Willard Rd, 03071

- 100 Willard Rd, New Ipswich

- 100 Willard Rd, New Ipswich, NH

- 100 Willard Rd, New Ipswich, NH, 03071

- 100 Willard Rd., 03071

- 100 Willard Road, 03071

Currently intersections are not supported (example: Autumn St and Wedgemere Rd 
02148)

We may want to configure the form to have the address number in a box which is 
mandatory.  Have the street name in a box which is mandatory.  Have the street 
extension in a box which is optional.  That way we don't need to worry whether 
both number and street name are there.

A "bad" address will either return NaN values for X and Y or an address with a 
very low score.  It would be great to also show the score on the pop up window 
for the user. If NaN occurs the message in the info box should be "No address 
found".

We were able to have both a zoom to center point and a zoom to region because 
Bing returns both values (a point and a bbox).  In the case of the MassGIS 
geocoding, it only returns a point.  We could either drop the bbox option or we 
could create our own bbox which would be centered around the geocoding hit and 
set at a certain zoom level.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I don't think the bbox option is necessary actually.
I think this option is sufficient: "we could create our own bbox which would be 
centered around the geocoding hit and set at a certain zoom level".
We don't want the user to be right on top of the point.

I think I see this as a separate button, that we can hide/show.
I think most viewers would prefer the Bing geocoding because it can intake so 
many more flexible "locations" and interpret them.  However, for some viewers 
we may prefer to hide the Bing box and substitute the "MassGIS geocoding 
button" which I'm thinking will have to pop up a box with:

Address:
Municipality:
State:
Zipcode:

Where Address is required
Either municipality OR zipcode is required
and State is optional

Note - it would be good to have the service posted URL to be configurable.  
Because Gabriela Laird, our ArcGIS Server admin will likely roll out other 
geocoding services in the future with new names.  So we might want to change 
from posting to 
http://gisprpxy.itd.state.ma.us/MassGISGeocodeServiceApplication/MassGISCustomGe
ocodeService.asmx
to posting to a different service name. This service name does basic geocoding. 
 She I believe is working on a service to do more complex geocoding (which 
cascades trying to use different data sources).  For backwards compatibility 
she will likely leave
MassGISGeocodeServiceApplication/MassGISCustomGeocodeService.asmx named as is 
and make a new service with a new name for new functionality.  If she makes a 
MassGISCustomGeocodeService_Cascasding.asmx in the future we may want to switch 
to using it in OLIVER.  I would have the service be a parameter that can be set 
viewer-by-viewer (in other words not hard-coded in the map.js).

After getting this rolling here, it doesn't make sense to me for us to offer a 
zoom-to-region for the hit coming back from this svc.  It only returns a point, 
so shouldn't it behave like Bing when it finds a point and we zoom to it?

The way it is setup w/ a Bing point zoom is that it centers on the lon,lat and 
zooms it to a scale of 1000.

OK, trying to test this.  First I had to change the geocoding URL, because of 
current limitations of which servers the maps server can talk to.  Then I had 
to add that URL to the proxy.cgi allowedHosts list (at first I was getting "bad 
gateway").  Now, I get a 500 unknown error.  The posted request looks good:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</soap:Envelope>

so I need to look at the Apache error log.
I get this:

Yes, I see the change.  And it was the <?xml> part that I removed from the

 Try looking at normal query and you'll see that <?xml> isn't part of the POST 
itself.

I think this would benefit from a "Location search results" window display 
before zoom like the Bing does.  We could display the MatchedAddress and Score 
values.  The reason is that there are 2 Salems - one in MA, one in NH - if I 
put in Address "20 High St" 
Municipality "Salem" and don't fill in State or Zip code which aren't required 
how do I know what it did? 

The MassGIS geocoding service found the following location:
1 ASHBURTON PL, BOSTON, MA, 0210
Score: 100

"Zoom to center point" "Cancel" 
Just no Zoom to region.

toolSettings.massgisAddressSearch = {};
toolSettings.massgisAddressSearch.status = 'show';
toolSettings.massgisAddressSearch.keyMap = {

toolSettings.massgisAddressSearch.url =

Otherwise I have to edit many, many toolConfig.js to say I want to "hide" the

Clarification on #45 - in viewers that don't have a Bing search such as 
http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/map_ol_to5b/911.php, the new MassGIS address 
red pin tool doesn't show up. However, in viewer that have the Bing search 
(most) such as http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/map_ol_to5b/moris.php the new 
MassGIS address red pin does show up.  Even though the only toolConfig I have 
added the new paragraph to is OLIVER's.

I think you'll be happier w/ r507.

I moved the eraser button to appear to the right of one or both geolocation 
options.  If you have at least one geolocation option (either bing or massgis), 
the button will appear.

Original comment by cpl...@gmail.com on 26 Jun 2013 at 6:52

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
We're getting closer - I see the eraser has moved to the right of one or both 
geolocation options - that's fine. I ask for bing only, I get eraser, I ask for 
massgis only, I get eraser, I ask for both, I get eraser.

The issue I still have is ... if I have a viewer toolConfig which I don't 
touch, don't add any mention of this new massgis geocoding button - I don't 
want it to appear in the viewer.  I don't want to have to add the paragraph and 
say "hide" for 100 files.  Isn't that how it has worked in the past - for 
example, the external WMS button doesn't appear if I don't talk about it at all 
in the toolConfig.

Here's an example - http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/map_ol_to5b/moris.php and 
it's
http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/map_ol_to5b/js/toolConfig_moris.js
Look! There's a red pin button in MORIS now even though I have not touched 
http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/map_ol_to5b/js/toolConfig_moris.js

I understand what you're saying, but I believe these geocoding buttons behave 
like the normal identify:
 if (!toolSettings || !toolSettings.identify || toolSettings.identify.status == 'show') {
 if (!toolSettings || !toolSettings.massgisAddressSearch || toolSettings.massgisAddressSearch.status == 'show') {

Basically, for each, if you don't have any toolSettings or you don't have a 
toolSettings.theWidget or you have it listed as "show", then it shows.

I could change it to behave like you are asking, but it wouldn't be consistent.
