Azure geocoding vs bing maps

Hi folks, 

 

I'm using Azure geocoding in an app and I am finding occasions when it's really not working very well and returning low or medium confidence results.  However, Bing maps with the same address finds the correct point on the map as do other services such as the UK Address finder app and Post Tag.

 

The following address highlights the issue well, although there are plenty of others:

Pentland View, Limekiln Road, Macbiehill, West Linton EH46 7BA

 

It's as if Bing has better map data.  Any help greatly appreciated.

  • The original V1 Geocoder for Azure Maps is powered by Tomtom, the latest version is powered by Bing Maps so you should get the same results from the latest Azure Maps API as you do from Bing Maps for Enterprise
