Could you perhaps specify some details about how you used the Google Maps API for geocoding and how you then decided whether to replace the original coordinates with the geocoded ones or not.

Thanks, Hermann



Thanks for your interest Hermann.
In brief, I modified the code of the Juice Analytics geocoding tool to work with the Google Maps API and replaced the coordinates for those sites with an exact match. The coordinates in Spain were so inaccurate that I replaced anything with an approximate match. Sweden was quite accurate and the Google Maps database wasn't very good so I didn't correct anything in Sweden.

For more detail please refer to the presentation on enhancing community right to know that I gave to a conference on Australia's National Pollutant Inventory. Slides 14 to 19 would be of interest.
