When searching for an address in DAS, you may sometimes find that the pin is placed incorrectly, often landing in the middle of a road or slightly off from the actual property. This happens because DAS primarily relies on Google’s address search, which can occasionally misposition rural or regional properties due to mapping limitations.
To help you locate your property quickly and accurately, try the following methods:
How to Improve Search Accuracy
1. Manually Adjust the Location
If the pin is slightly off, try scrolling along the road until you locate the correct property boundary.
To assist with navigation, you can also:
Use Google Street View – Drag the yellow person icon bottom right of your UI interface onto a nearby road to switch to a first-person POV, helping you visually identify landmarks.
Enable 3D Map View – With our 3D Mapbox feature located next to the build feature, select a property near your pin and click the 3D mapbox icon. You can tilt the map to view terrain details like hills, mountains, and elevation changes, providing a clearer perspective compared to the standard 2D top-down view.
These tools can help you pinpoint the correct property more accurately. 🚀
2. Use the GNAF Address Search
For an alternative search, try using the GNAF address search, located in the search bar at the top right corner of your DAS interface.
GNAF functions similarly to Google Address Search, but its data is managed by Geoscape, meaning there may be slight variations in accuracy between the two. Depending on the location, one may provide a more precise result than the other, so it’s useful to try both when searching for a property.
Key Takeaways
Google’s search may place the pin in a general location (e.g., the middle of a road).
The GNAF search provides different results, especially for rural properties.
Using both methods can help ensure you locate the correct property quickly.
