Falsehoods programmers belive about location data

Being inspired by Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names, I wrote down this list of falsehoods programmers belive about locations and addresses.

Using an external API

  • Information from the Google Maps API is always correct and up to date.
  • At least there is a single, correct location database that I can use.

Basic validation and formatting

  • Every location has an English name.
