* baldur.norddahl () gmail com (Baldur Norddahl) [Mon 11 Apr 2016, 21:02 CEST]:They should stop giving out coordinates on houses period. Move the coordinate to the nearest street intersection if you need to be that precise (I would prefer nearest town square). Anything more than that should be illegal.That's going to make USPS's and FedEx's lives a lot harder.
Please don't guess (like, you know, MaxMind does.) USPS has its own database of all of the deliverable addresses in the country. They have their problems, but give or take data staleness as buildings are built or demolished, that's not one of them. R's, John
