Hi,

i am hoping to use zipcode to obtain the longitude and latitude on googlemap..but was informed that the use of zip code will not provide correct longitude and latitude all the time... so it is better to use autocomplete address instead...

would appreciate if anyone can let me know if the chances of getting wrong longitude and latitude using zipcode is high or low and whether it is an issue if i am using it to display the googlemap on the app...

thanks alot!!!

Zip codes does not necessarily cover exactly your location... That's why is inaccurate to get GPS coordinates using that method. If you use your full address, you will have a more accurate longitude and latitude information.
