Hi, I'm using Openstreetmap for a web application where I need to show a loto of Pushpin by address and city datas. In a lot of cases the Address is not recognized by Openstreetmap: - or because in my data is written incorrectly (es. VIA DELL'ARTIGIANO 12, Monastier di Treviso" the correct is “via dell’artigianATo 12”. - Or because is incorrect in Openstreetmap(es. "via Montegrappa 80/c moriago della battaglia" is right, but in Openstreetmap is codificated as "Via Monte Grappa" that is wrong. HOw can I fix it? Google Maps recognize 99% of the time also the incorrect addresses, is there a way to geolocalize the pushpin in other way on openstreetmap? (maybe using the geocodification of Google). Thank you |
There are a variety of geocoders using OpenStreetMap data. Some of them may have better "fuzzy" matching than others. As a (mostly) volunteer contributed map OSM does have variable levels of completeness from region to region, so some of the information you need may not be available. |
Thank you, your answer was very useful. I try all the engines in the link and in the end I understood I need to use Google or Bing maps. No one of the others can find the right position if the address is not well written. Thank you very much. |
