Helpful resources to research Pin Accuracy
The photos posted on various websites tagged with a location can be a very helpful source in addition to satellite view. These come in handy, if and when, they can be connected to a location or a business, when verifying name, address and pin.
These should be used in conjunction with other reliable sources available and not by themselves
For example, at times pictures are tagged with incorrect locations. Some examples of such secondary sources can be tripadvisor, booking.com, zomato, photo spheres, etc
