Andy CastleThanks for the comprehensive response Steve.
With UK addresses, there can be inconsistencies in format: some eforms will ask specifically for House Name/Number before the Street Name, others will ask for address line 1 and expect the user to include House Name/Number and Street Name (this latter option is the standard option for our public mail). I fully understand the difficulties of dealing with international address formats on websites.
In the example we’ve discussed, Trinity Centre is the house name (there is no house number), and for correct postal addressing this must be the first entry in the address. So with Connections I have to ensure the display of the address is correct on the tile, but also works with Geocode.
I’ve tried alternatives with the way Connections/Google now works, and it’s clear that putting a House Name in line 1 now screws things up for Geocode: I promise you it didn’t when I loaded most of my directory. The way it now works most accurately is with a House Number and Street in Line 1. I can’t get accurate locations for addresses with House Names. This causes me most problems for buildings which house a number of organisations and have a name and no number, quite a common occurrence in our rural location.
Connections is the backbone of my site and as you’ll know from previous issues, I’ve been extremely impressed with the way you support the plugin.
I see you’ve marked this topic as resolved, but I would appreciate it if you could give it some further thought.
Andy.
