Google geocode override

[ericaordinary]

Hi all,

I have Civi configured with Google Maps, however Google doesn't generate accurate geocodes for some addresses (namely "corner" addresses with no street number which occur a lot in rural areas of Australia).  I've generated more accurate codes using https://egrants.com.au/geocoder/index.asp for the records in question and want to use these lat/lon coordinates to override the automatically generated geocodes.

From what I can see there's no way to manually override the Google generated geocodes for records.  I tried to update the coordinates manually but on saving the record they revert back to the Google coordinates.

Ultimately I'd like to import my records with the more accurate codes where necessary, but can update them manually if need be as it only affects a small portion of the records.

Am I missing something, or is there a way I can get around this issue? 

Cheers,
Erica.

Erica - want to go halves on getting WebAccess to fix this for us - see my post here which I think is virtually the same question isn't it?
