Abstract
A method and system for locating data collection points in a mobile data collection system includes receiving geographic location information for multiple data collection points used in collecting, for example, utility consumption information. In one embodiment, the geographic location information may be in the form of an endpoint location file that a utility company may provide to an operator of a mobile data collection system for the purpose of completing a meter reading route. The geographic location information may include complete or incomplete address information and complete or incomplete geographic location coordinate information (e.g., GPS coordinates). If the geographic location coordinate information for at least one utility data collection point is incomplete, the mobile data collection system may then compute complete geographic location coordinate information.
