Claim:
1. A method for determining the accuracy of map data of a digital map, the method comprising: receiving, via one or more processors, at least a portion of an address for a first serviceable point represented in map data of a digital map; identifying, via the one or more processors, a telematics-based location of the first serviceable point in the map data of the digital map based at least in part on telematics data collected by a telematics device affixed to a vehicle while the vehicle visited the first serviceable point, wherein the telematics-based location comprises a telematics-based geocode; identifying, via the one or more processors, a street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the street segment is proximate the telematics-based location and (b) the street segment is identified based at least in part on a street segment identifier that is not visibly displayed to users; identifying, via the one or more processors, a map-based location on the street segment in the map data of the digital map by identifying a perpendicular path from the telematics-based location in the map data of the digital map to the street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the map-based location comprises a map-based geocode represented in the map data of the digital map, and (b) the map-based geocode is an estimated location of the first serviceable point on the street segment; generating, via the one or more processors, a graphical display of at least a portion of the digital map comprising an indication of the telematics-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map and an indication of the map-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map; and determining, via the one or more processors, the accuracy of the map data of the digital map for the first serviceable point based at least in part on the geographical distance between the telematics-based geocode and the map-based geocode.
