Using the geo-coding functions, Cloudmade free server works fine. Since I prefer using 2 different sources and comparing the results, I set up a different field for the Yahoo results.

Using the Yahoo free server I get the following warning:
"Forbidden (HTTP error 403): The page you are trying to access is forbidden."

Please advise! Thanks!]]> http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/384/mapping-geo-coding-multiple-sources-for-geo-codings Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:05:17 -0400 Mees 384@/discussions
We have used the LAT and LON functions in Omniscope, but are experiencing some issues relating the datasources.
Omniscope is working perfectly fine with these functions, especially in DM. However, the sources are very questionable. We are geocoding a massive database for the UK market and have tested results with approx 50.000 records.

- Yahoo is okay but has a lot of incorrect coordinates. Very obvious ones, e.g. UK locations plotted in US.
- Cloudmade is worse, too often that coordinates are just incorrect.

We have also used the Google source and that is working far better.

What are the possibilities to include the Google source in the GEO functions in Omniscope?
Adding this source, would add much value to the functions as correcting results will be far less.]]>
