You mention 'real address'; is this an indication of 'real location'? How did you obtain the coordinates for your retailers? If they were geocoded with an 'address' against a street layer of address ranges, your precision issues should be expected.Let's say we have a street layer and we match an address 150 Main St against it. The geocoder looks for a street called Main ST and finds a segment that has a range of 100-200 on the even side and 101-199 on the odd side. It's going to figure that address 150 is right in the middle of the block on the even side. The reality might be that the building with 150 painted on the front door is actually at one end of the block. Accuracy in geocoding is one thing; in my example above, the locator is accurate to the block. If you want precision, that is a X,Y value that better represents the actual location of address 150, you'll need to match against a data source that is better precision built into it (like address points, derived from parcels, gps'd points etc) rather than interpolating against a linear feature.Hope this helps-
Good day everyone!When I chose a retailer location on my map, the coordinates indicate a different position from the real adress of retailers. The difference is between 50-150 meters. I am triyng to find out what caused this type of errors?!Thank you in advance for your time and patience!
