Reverse Geocoding returns incorrect city

RichardAbram — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 12:22:10 GMT

I am using the Reverse Geocoding Rest API to get addresses for points. http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer‌

When I do a reverse geocoding for an address in Augusta Maine the city name returned is incorrect. The city returned is a neighboring town of Chelsea. Is there a better reverse geocoding service?

If I geocode an address 83 Edison Dr, Augusta, Maine, 04330 I get the point "x": -69.818462933916464, "y": 44.313100364591264

but when I reverse geocode using that point I get the following.

{

"address": {

"Address": "83 Edison Dr",

"Neighborhood": null,

"City": "Chelsea",

"Subregion": null,

"Region": "Maine",

"Postal": "04330",

"PostalExt": null,

"CountryCode": "USA",

"Loc_name": "USA.StreetAddress"

"location": {

"x": -69.818462933993914,

"y": 44.313100364543232,

"spatialReference": {

"wkid": 4326,

"latestWkid": 4326

}
