issue importing GPS coordinates
Hi all! Recently i was asked to create a heatmap, with this i had to load in data with GPS coordinates Latitude and Longtitude. Unfortunately my file isn't as specific as i want it to be, and co...
The zipcode is very accurate, it is actually the only information i'm 100% sure is proper.
But for some reason when using the zipcode's, it will plot them all over the world as there is multiple countries using the same zipcode system.
The issue i am mainly having is that the latitude and longtitude i have is in most cases not complete, as in, it is not the required minimum of 9 characters long (8 right from the comma, 1 infront) in most cases its about 3 - 4 decimals. Which results into residents living in the north sea. Far i know we are not atlantians 😛
So the main question i would have is, can i get accurate GPS coordinates based on zipcodes?
