Additional Comment For State, Country,City, Locality and Neighbourhodd

  • If the location value has multiple places listed in it then only the first one may be recognized in geocoding.
  • If the location is descriptive and covering a larger area or region, for eg. Chambal River Valley then such locations may not be identified or get mislabeled with the one with approximately matching name. In such cases we use the coordinates of the most country, state, county or whatever precise info we can look upto
