Hello 2 years later -

Using Geocoder 1.00 as a stand-alone function in my test page seems to work great...

My questions:

1) Should I be concerned that the return LAT & LNG values are accurate to 6 places vs. Google's return values of 7 places?

My concern is that for a given address:

Geocoder returns a latitude of 41.169848 and longitude of -73.532146.

Google returns a latitude of 41.1711970 and longitude of -73.5307970.

Why the discrepancy???

2) Is there an upgrade that will provide enhanced accuracy?

Many thanks! Great Products!

Hi Rick

Thanks for posting!  

Have you noticed any significant differences with where you points are plotted with the 6 digit long/lat coordinates compared to the 7 digits?  I don't think there should be much difference. If you want us to take a closer look at the code for you though, we can do that through consulting :). Just send me an email via consulting@interactivetools.com

Thanks!
