Complete, do not correct
Autosuggest at 150 ms debounce finishes most addresses in three keystrokes, which removes the class of errors that correction logic tries to clean up later.
Delivery & q-commerce
The address the customer typed is not the address.
Most failed deliveries start at the checkout field. Autosuggest with highlight offsets, geocoding that reports how much of the query actually matched, and a routing call that knows about the jam on the ring road.
How it is usually put together
Gate on the score
queryScore below your threshold means ask, not guess. The field scores show whether the house number was matched or inferred.
Re-estimate on departure
ETAs computed with departureTime pick up live traffic. Recomputing at pickup rather than at order time is the cheapest accuracy you will ever buy.

These volumes are modelled, not measured from a customer. They exist so the arithmetic is visible — put your own numbers into the calculator.
What to watch
- Per-keystroke autosuggest is billable — debouncing typically removes two thirds of the calls
- Batch geocoding your existing address book once is far cheaper than geocoding on every order
- Map tiles are cached client-side: cached hits never reach us and never bill
