This documents the reasoning for why I have not completed my Form 477 data yet. Nearly 40% of my customer base will have to be re-coded for the Form 47 because the geocoding databases are incorrect. My lead tech has exported the geocode data out of Freeside and into Google Earth, sorted by AP. When we look at the data, a very high percentage of our customers have GPS coordinates of Post Office of their town/village. We still have a lot of county road and rural route addresses in this area, and they don't geocode correctly. Data with 40% noise borders on useless. I applaud the spirit behind the 477, but asking us to provide this granular data without the right tools to assemble the data and verify it makes it a nearly unanswerable proposition.
