Hello,

 

 

I have a source file with Points of intrests and thier x/y coordinations. I would like to compare them with the database extract with also having this information. The problem is that they might not be on the same exact spot and also the names can vary a little. I was having an idea of using neighbour finder and then check the naming by using fuzzy string comparer but I struggle with doing it properly. Maybe there is better way?

 

 

Thanks,

    Since location accuracy is an issue, is it feasible to decrease the precision of the actual points for the sake of getting a match? If so, try CoordinateRounder to round up the numbers, then FeatureMerger to match the values.
