Entered the wrong location code on Ringo Reading Borough Council

Hello all, I selected location code on the RingGo app and got a
PCN for it. It was a little bit misleading because it had named
some roads where it can be located but you can still park in
that whole section which is why I got a bit confused and I
thought it wouldn’t matter because it’s all on the same stretch
of road.
I’ve already appealed it, but do I have any grounds to re-appeal
before I pay it tomorrow?

I parked on Oxford Road in Reading towards town. I use the
locator on the RingGo app to see where was the closest to park.
It showed me three different location codes.
They all said Oxford Road but slightly different locations
because it was showing on the map that that was almost exactly
where I was standing. I chose that one to park. I then returned
back to my car to see that I had a ticket.
I sent an appeal in advising that I did pay for the parking and
the location code was slightly wrong, but they rejected my
appeal.

Please post the PCN. Do not redact car reg and PCN number.
It is always best when using pay-by-phone apps to check with the
local sign before making payment. These tend to be stuck onto
the side of the ticket machine, or where it is PbP only, on a
sign by the bay.

There's no location code on the sign and no instruction you can
pay by phone but obviously RingGo is available.
I'd say you are entitled to rely on what the app says if the
geo-location says Oxford Road.
You were by the machine though but the code is on the machine
not the parking sign.

This is what it said at the time. All 3 locations said Oxford
road.
The parking code is different but the geolocation showed this
was the closest one.
Do I have a case to fight this?

Post their rejection.
The receipt does provide more info on location - Howard St to
Bedford Rd - what is the Maps location of where you were?
But rejection on a slightly wrong location code with no loss to
them is now fairly standard and breaks their duty to act fairly.
The traffic order could tell us more.
