Hi,
I am going through the process of converting from Google v2 Maps API to v3 Maps API. A problem that I have encountered is that a Geocode score (0-9) is not used by the V3 API.
Instead the API uses (geometry.location_type) which will return either ROOFTOP, GEOMETRIC_CENTER, RANGE_INTERPOLATED or APPROXIMATE. I can also use (google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) to see if an address can actually be Geocoded.
Our back office systems and IOS App are programmed to work off a (0-9) score I could go through and update them all but that would be rather time consuming. I am wondering if anyone has any idea as to how the string returned by (geometry.location_type) can be converted to a (0-9) score maybe by a case statement or something like that?
If anyone has any better ideas or I am over complicating this please let me know.
I guess what I am looking for is how to interpret the string returned by (geometry.location_type) as a number that resembles the v2 API Geocode score from 1 to 9 as closely as possible. The programming is not hard the interpretation of the string to a Geocode number score is the tricky part.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
