Location might be off for huge buildings

[PragTob]

We have a little problem with the location for our current meetup

The address is right, the building is big and so the position of the pin is way off. It goes to 38a, not 38. Incidentally, that is also a past venue (some cache or something maybe? Seems unlikely though)

In the picture below, the pin should be at Wooga not adjust :)

Any idea how I could fix this (now through input - already tried updating it but didn't work). Don't have time right now but my idea to fix would be:

See if we can feed the company name to geocoder. At least in google maps looking for the address yields the result as shown in the screenshot, prepending it with "Wooga" leads to the desired result

Not really a bug as technically it works, the above solution might help. Otherwise, it could be a solution to optionally manually enter lat/long

Thanks and still :heart: on_ruby

it might be as simple as adding the name to the full address. i won't be able to look into this any time soon as i'm on parental leave for the next 2 month.

unfortunately, the geocoder has the same result when the name is added:

irb(main):032:0> Geocoder.coordinates("Saarbrücker Straße 38, 10405 Berlin")
=> [52.5283101, 13.4154047]
irb(main):033:0> Geocoder.coordinates("Wooga, Saarbrücker Straße 38, 10405 Berlin")
=> [52.5283101, 13.4154047]

thanks for looking at it and sorry for me not looking at it.

Sad that it won't work :| Only solution that comes to my mind then is manually entering it which of course is also more work :|

putting the name second seems to work

irb(main):038:0> Geocoder.coordinates("Saarbrücker Straße 38, Wooga, 10405 Berlin")
=> [52.53419359999999, 13.4230065]

oh no, that's actually far off :D reverting it
