This is a GREAT lesson in “proofread, proofread, proofread again!!!” before publishing ANYTHING on the web! Be sure to check the GISCI website for career opportunities as the new Geocoding position soon!

 

Kind regards,

 

Thad

Subject: GISP geocoding fun

 

If any CT GISPs out there want something fun to do on this snowy day, go to the GISP website (http://www.gisci.org/) and see where they geocoded you to.  It looks like for some people the zero was dropped from the zip code, which leads to some interesting results.  For me, I am in Bulgaria.

 

Thanks to my co-worker Bryan Pavlik for discovering this.  I would say thank you to him in person, but he is apparently in Belgium according to the map. J
