Hi
I am using a concatenated custome address field with Street, City and zip code combination to plot locations on the map. While most addresses are plotted correctly some addresses are way off the mark.
Please refer to my screen shot of one such error.
Would help to know why this is happening.
Thank you for your help

The foolproof method is converting the addresses to latitude and longitude coordinates. There are ways to do this automatically in Excel (Google is your friend)

@mbalraj You are kind of at the mercy of Bing maps to a large degree. Make sure that you have the correct data category. I often find that Place is one of the best data categories to use. For example, Burleson, Texas, 76028 is plotted correctly when I use Place as the data categorization.
