Is the location of a feature with a street address also labeled with Name for a place-name locator?

1. True

2. False

3. Only in urban areas

4. Only for businesses

The correct answer is: False

The assertion that the location of a feature with a street address is not necessarily labeled with a name for a place-name locator is accurate. In many GIS applications, particularly those that utilize place-name locators, the primary focus is on identifying and locating places based on points of interest or landmarks rather than specific street addresses. Street addresses are crucial for identifying locations, especially for navigation and routing purposes, but place-name locators typically emphasize named entities such as towns, parks, landmarks, or other significant features. Therefore, the absence of a label for a feature with just a street address—without any additional identifying name—aligns with the operational nature of place-name locators. In urban areas or for businesses, a street address may sometimes be associated with a name, especially if the feature is a known establishment. However, this is not a universal rule applicable to all location types. Place-name locators generally prioritize recognized names over mere addresses, which is why the correct answer highlights that a street address alone does not ensure a labeled name within this context.
