What's the best approach for flexible geocoding in NYC that can handle descriptive locations like '3rd Ave between 30th and 40th St' and return coordinates for that area? Looking for solutions that can process both specific addresses and approximate area descriptions!

I feel like this is something @jc4p might know. lol. Idk. If you don’t Kasra don’t be mad I just feel like you know everything about esoteric data sourcing and handling

google geocoder sucks at this, yahoo geocoder is slightly better but doesn't get context very well (like you have to tell it it's Manhattan), best is to use a dual layer where you rely on Google geocoder for most things then if it has no results use something like this: https://gist.github.com/jc4p/6c45368fa8dedc5c782d1457f04394d2

this code for me spits out: Address: 3rd Ave Between 30th and 40th St Latitude: 40.745937, Longitude: -73.977566 Message: The approximate midpoint of 3rd Avenue between 30th and 40th Streets in Manhattan, New York City, is at latitude 40.745937 and longitude -73.977566. The lat/long comes out to 3rd ave and 34th st

Thanks! https://locatenyc.io/ is really good too for midpoints and block details. But I need a polygon wrapping a region, not a midpoint. I think the solution is going to be an LLM normalizing the input and then running multiple geo code operations on the bits it can extract?
