Description

As I'm working with large sets of spatial data, I find that several of my locations are returning as not uniquely geocoded. For cleaning purposes, it would be nice for those that return as such to be flagged and then additional possible addresses to also be returned. See stackoverflow for current manual solution.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current geocoding function in ggmap to understand how it handles non unique results. Look at the stackoverflow link for a manual solution. Propose a way to flag non unique geocoded results and return additional possible addresses.
