(See 3.4 of GLs – Examples of Invalid Query Addresses)
All query addresses that have been rated Invalid should be analysed to see if they are Reasonable. (See 4 of GLs – Is This a Reasonable Address?)
For an address to be rated as Reasonable, it must refer to a location that exists in the real world and be at least one of:
o The address in the result is as specific as it can be for the locale.
o The area should not include any visual impediments such as turns in the road or other buildings.
o Trees are not considered visual obstruction.
o If in doubt between a block and within eyesight, choose the most generous of the two.
