All early vote sites are not appearing in map view about android-white-label-app HOT 7 CLOSED

These addresses fail to geocode in the Google geocoder API, probably because they contain the ward number.

It works in the VIT, do you know why is it not geocoding in the app?

I'm not familiar with the web app; it may be using a different geocoding API for JavaScript, or it may be stripping the second line of the address. In any case, I don't think ward numbers should be in the address, as it is not a valid address component.

Can we modify how the app geocodes early vote sites to ensure they all displayed then? I can this is a very important fix.

Regarding the address validity, I'm not sure what you mean about the ward numbers.

from android-white-label-app.

The addresses that fail to geocode (in the screenshot above) all include the ward number as part of the address field; this information should not be in the address, as it is not a valid component to a street address. For example:

1480 Girard St NW Ward 1
Washington, DC

does not geocode, but

1480 Girard St NW
Washington, DC

would geocode properly, as it is the actual street address.

If possible in future, it would be both more efficient and less error prone if the geocoded co-ordinates for all locations were part of the API, rather than the addresses being repeatedly geocoded client-side.

I see what you're saying, thanks for explaining.

I'll see if we can strip "Ward" from the DC list, but can you also see if there's something we can do if we come across this issue in the future? I don't think this is change we can make quickly, and its definitely possible that it will appear other places.

I'm assuming the embeddable tool is able to handle the addresses because its built differently, but is there any way to modify the app, or is there too big of a difference between the two that what works in one, won't necessarily in the other?

#69 should address the issue. Second and third address lines will be ignored by the app.
