Geocode HIT
The purpose of the HIT is to help match a databases of address to exact GPS coordinates. These coordinates will then be used by a mobile application to help people see what venues are nearby.
Unfortunately, both the input addresses and existing databases are not perfect. Simple addresses can be automatically geocoded with a high degree of accuracy. Many addresses are relative locations, or are inside mall's and shopping centres.
Example: <geshi> Siggi's at the Port Office Cnr Edward and Margaret Streets Brisbane QLD 4000 Australia 07 3221 1999 </geshi>
In Australia, 'Cnr' is used to abbreviate corner. So, one is looking for an address whose pin is at the corner of Edward and Margaret Streets. The choices are:
![]() Brisbane QLD 4000 Australia |
![]() Brisbane QLD 4000 Australia |
None of the locations are very close. |
