Better geocoding
I’ve updated some of the checks the geocoding process uses, as well as added a google maps API geocode lookup, with several different tests (mostly for wording/spelling, same as what I use for geocoder.us - such as changing FWY to Freeway)
I’m getting much better results now, and will go back and re-check the entries with no coordinates to see if I can bring down the failure percentage rates. I’m adding a DB Stats link on the home page so you can see the total number of records for a given month, along with the number of records that have no geocode info - and the resulting failure rate.
