I was attempting to follow the quick start guide on the wiki and encountered a problem. Searching for "1701 W Thome Ave" was giving me a result for a Lawndale Ave. After doing some digging and comparing to the code in the samples I found that the issue stems from the use of fuzzy matching in the wiki example. Changing the code to use exact matching works, but naturally only if the address is accurate. When fuzzy matching is used only references to a North and South Lawndale Ave are returned. Is this an issue with data or is something wrong with fuzzy matching?
Issue with the Quick Start Guide and Possibly Fuzzy Matching
Hi Michael,
I think you are using our Geocoder Desktop edition sample, because I reproduced the problem there.
That’s a known data problem, please copy the ChicagoData from “MapSuiteGeoCoder\HowDoISamples\CSharp HowDoISamples\CSharp Web HowDoISamples\SampleData\ChicagoData” to “MapSuiteGeoCoder\HowDoISamples\SampleData\ChicagoData”.
This problem will be fixed.
Regards,
Don
