Why geocoding fails

We use the free US Census Bureau geocoder. It can miss:

  • Newly built homes (under ~12 months old)
  • Rural routes, PO boxes, or non-standard addresses
  • Addresses with suite or unit numbers when the street itself doesn't match
  • Typos — even a missing zip extension can do it

Fix: try address variants

  1. Open Home settings.
  2. Remove unit/apartment numbers — enter just the street address.
  3. Include the 5-digit ZIP code.
  4. Save. We re-run geocoding on any address change.

Fix: enter coordinates manually

If you know your latitude and longitude (Google Maps → right-click your house → copy coordinates), paste them in Home settings → Location. This also re-runs the climate and radon zone lookup.

Map still not showing?

The map image is cached for 30 days. If you just updated the address, give the page a hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R) so the new image loads.
