street-address

My Problem I'm attempting to crawl the individual links on the US House of Representatives Site to find Washington addresses for all of the listed individuals. The problem is that the format of the Washington address varies from time to time. Sometimes there are bullets, pipes, new lines and break-tags making it difficult to match. I'm attempting to crawl many pages to retrieve addresses which are largely similar: ignore peculiar whitespace. It's merely to show string-part similarities 1433 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 332 Cannon HOB Washington DC 20515 1641 LONGWORTH

For some addresses that I attempt to geocode, google returns inappropriately inconclusive results. The following is an example, but it is not an isolated incident. The first returned result is the exact match, however google flags it as a "partial_match": Street address: 16160 Frederick Rd City: Gaithersburg State: MD Zip code: 20877 Link: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=16160%20Frederick%20Rd,+Gaithersburg,+MD,+20877 My issue here is in determining which is the correct match. In this case, the "partial match" flag is not useful because it is set to "true"

I am trying to make my application open the apple maps application and have the address be pulled up. I tried this : - (IBAction)openInMaps:(id)sender { NSString *addressString = @"http://maps.apple.com/?q=1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:addressString]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url]; } and this : - (IBAction)openInMaps:(id)sender { NSString *addressString = @"http://maps.apple.com/?q=1_Infinite_Loop,_Cupertino,_CA"; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:addressString]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url]; } But the button just acts

I have the below code to convert lat, long to human readable address. Now iam getting full details including street name. How can i get only city, state, country? I don't want anything more details. Please help me. Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(getBaseContext(), Locale.getDefault()); try { List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); String add = ""; if (addresses.size() > 0) { for (int i=0; i<addresses.get(0).getMaxAddressLineIndex();i++) add += addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(i) + "\n"; } showToastMessage(add); } catch (IOException e1) { e1.printStackTrace()

I'm trying to come up with a method of finding duplicate addresses, based on a similarity score. Consider these duplicate addresses: addr_1 = '# 3 FAIRMONT LINK SOUTH' addr_2 = '3 FAIRMONT LINK S' addr_3 = '5703 - 48TH AVE' adrr_4 = '5703- 48 AVENUE' I'm planning on applying some string transformation to make long words abbreviated, like NORTH -> N, remove all spaces, commas and dashes and pound symbols. Now, having this output, how can I compare addr_3 with the rest of addresses and detect similar? What percentage of similarity would be safe? Could you provide a simple python code for this?
