Geocoding in the heart of Central Florida: EMS route round ups This weeks lab was pretty fun! I had a blast geocoding addresses of the various Fire/EMS stations in Lake County, FL. What I found odd about the process is the matching addresses part. It was strange that several of the addresses listed in the database were matched to street/highway locations which were in the middle of nowhere. What I found fun about the Geocoding part for searaching for the locations on Google Maps and Bing Maps. It's funny that Google maps had some completely different street numbers on the same roads that Bing Maps had. I much prefer the graphics and layout of Google Maps! It's also cool that we can essentially tailor create our driving routes. We can choose which way is the fastest route or one that gets location drop offs in the most inconvenient locations first, so that the easy ones (the best) can wait for last. Overall I really enjoyed this lab! There's plenty more to learn ab
