KEY_MUST_HAVE_LDU When true, does not return any matches that do not have the full FSA LDU postal code. Default = false.
Calculate Centerline Projection of Point Computes the closest point on the street from the parcel point. Default = disabled. Use this with Centerline OffsetCENTERLIINE_OFFSET to set a new point along the centerline that may be more appropriate for some use cases, such as routing where you want the geocoded point closer to the edge of the parcel.
Note: This feature requires that a point-level geocoding dataset is installed.
Note: The result code for centerline matches is SC.
Centerline offset Centerline matching is used with point-level matching to tie a point-level geocode with its parent street segment. This functionality is useful for routing applications.

The centerline offset specifies the distance to move the point from the street centerline toward the parcel point. Default = 0 meters.

You can select either Feet or Meters for your unit of measurement.
