Use this rating if the TryRating result is an address (the rating should not be applied to POI and Business results!) and there is strong evidence the address does not actually exist. If sufficient resources are not available to make an informed decision, mark it Can’t Verify instead.
How to check if an address exists:
Use the following websites to check if the result address exists:
https://www.linz.govt.nz/data/linz-data-service/getting-started-lds
If the address is not returned, we consider that the address doesn’t exist. However in some cases, street imagery can reveal that the address does exist. If the official resources above did not find the address while other map apps finds it (or vice versa), be sure to also check the street imagery, if available.
If we find that the address does not exist, you will find one of the following scenarios with the appropriate rating.
Checkpoint: In some cases, you will find that an existing address can be found in a different locality. Always mark such cases as Incorrect – Address does not exist and not Incorrect – Locality.
205 McLean Road, Northburn, Central Otago 9383, New Zealand
Relevance: Excellent (Response
2)
Name Accuracy: N/A
Address Accuracy: Incorrect – Address does not exist.
Pin Accuracy: Can’t Verify
Both New Zealand Post and LINZ data service do not recognize the result address in the specified locality.
We therefore know the address does not exist and rate accordingly.
89 Panorama Road, Mount Wellington, Auckland 1060, New Zealand
Relevance: Good (unit number missing – 5.1.8 Address – Result connection)
Name Accuracy: N/A
Address Accuracy: Incorrect – Unit/Apt
Pin Accuracy: Perfect
Although the result did not return the unit number, we can confirm that 89 Panorama Road is valid from the street imagery: http://bit.ly/2sB4VfC
Therefore, it is rated as Incorrect – Unit/Apt.
