<p class=MsoNormal>Hey Shruggers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just an FYI about Google Maps for those of you who have
interest, i.e. Mashups, etc. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hopefully I’m not too far behind the curve on this,
but I noticed that Google “recently” incorporated a new feature in
the Florida area…Statewide Parcels. The parcels are visible at the 8<sup>th</sup>
scale or higher. When you right-click on a parcel you can choose the option “What
is This?” and it will return the parcel address with a balloon at the centroid
of the parcel, and GPS coordinates in the lower-left of the app.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I did a little bit of testing and the address data appears
to be consistent with the DOR parcel data, which is where I assume they got it
through some means or another. There are some address inaccuracies here and
there, but nothing that we would not expect. And of course addresses that are exempt
from public record do not appear to be available, i.e. if no address is present
in the attribute field for a specific feature the app will return a balloon on
the closest parcel, not the one queried. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As for geocoding, it makes sense that if you match a parcel
you’ll get the centroid. Otherwise you’ll fall back to the you’re-in-the-right-state
street data.<o:p></o:p></p>
