Parameters for Options - Spectrum_OnDemand - Latest

Specifies whether ReverseGeocodeUSLocation can match to a street segment that does not have a number range. This option is active when FindNearestAddress=Y.

Y

Allow ReverGeocodeUSLocation to match to an unranged street segment. Default.

N

Do not allow ReverseGeocodeUSLocation to match to an unranged street segment.

Specifies the distance, in feet, to squeeze the street end points in street-level geocoding. The range is 0 -2147483647 feet. Default = 50 feet. The following diagram compares the end points of a street to squeezed end points.

Specifies the offset distance from the street segments, in feet. The range is 0 to 5280. Default = 50 feet.

The offset distance is used in street-level geocoding to prevent the geocode from being in the middle of a street. It compensates for the fact that street-level geocoding returns a latitude and longitude point in the center of the street where the address is located. Since the building represented by an address is not on the street itself, you do not want the geocode for an address to be a point on the street. Instead, you want the geocode to represent the location of the building which sits next to the street. For example, an offset of 40 feet means that the geocode will represent a point 40 feet back from the center of the street. The distance is calculated perpendicular to the portion of the street segment for the address. Offset is also used to prevent addresses across the street from each other from being given the same point. The diagram below shows an offset point in relation to the original point.

Specifies the unit of measurement for the street offset and corner offset options.

One of the following:

• Ft

• Mi

• M

• Km

The default is m.

If you select this option, specify the maximum number of candidates to return using the MaxCandidates option (see below).

Y

Yes, return candidates when multiple candidates are found. Default.

N

No, do not return candidates. Addresses that result in multiple candidates will fail to geocode.

Specifies whether to provide an additional description field as output. These fields provide the text equivalent to a field represented by a code. For example, LocationCode returns a code that indicates the accuracy (quality) of the assigned geocode. LocationCode.Description provides the description for the code returned.

Y

Include verbose fields.

N

Do not include verbose fields. Default.

The search distance for the nearest MLD point is configurable using the ReverseGeocodeUSLocation Option.SearchDistance field. The allowable range is 0 - 5280 feet. Default = 150 feet.

Y

When a matched address does not have an associated PreciselyID, attempt to return the nearest address record's PreciselyID.

N

When a matched address does not have an associated PreciselyID, do not return the nearest address record's PreciselyID. Default.

Specifies the offset distance from the street segments. The allowable range is 0 - 5280 feet. Default = 50 feet.

The offset distance is used in street-level geocoding to prevent the geocode from being in the middle of a street. It compensates for the fact that street-level geocoding returns a latitude and longitude point in the center of the street where the address is located. Since the building represented by an address is not on the street itself, you do not want the geocode for an address to be a point on the street. Instead, you want the geocode to represent the location of the building which sits next to the street. For example, an offset of 40 feet means that the geocode will represent a point 40 feet back from the center of the street. The distance is calculated perpendicular to the portion of the street segment for the address. Offset is also used to prevent addresses across the street from each other from being given the same point. The diagram below shows an offset point in relation to the original point.

Street coordinates are accurate to 1/10,000th of a degree and interpolated points are accurate to 1/1,000,000th of a degree.

Specifies whether ReverseGeocodeUSLocation should find the nearest interpolated address to the input geocode.

Y

Find the nearest address. Default.

N

Do not find the nearest address.

Indicates whether to return multiple address for those input addresses that have more than one possible match.

Y

Yes, return multiple matches.

N

No, do not return multiple matches (default).

Specifies the optional data to include in the output. The data you select here is returned with the default output data.

• C—Census
• E—Parsed Elements
• L—Latitude/Longitude
• R—Range
• S—Segment
• Q—Qualifiers

If you do not want all of the fields in a record type returned, do not use OutputRecordType; instead, use OutputFields to specify the desired individual output fields.

The name of one or more database resources to use in the search process. Use

the database name specified in the Management Console.

You can specify multiple database resources. If you specify more than one database,

list them in order of preference.

The order of the databases has an effect when there are close match candidates

from different databases. The close matches that are returned come from the

database that is first in the search list. Close matches from lower ranked databases

are demoted to non-close matches.

You can also use the order of the databases to perform fallback processing if you

have an both an address point database and a street-level database installed for

the country. List the address point database first and the street database second.

If the address cannot be geocoded to the address point level, the geocoder will

attempt to geocode it to the street level.

Specifies the casing of the output data. One of the following:

M

Returns the output in mixed case. Default. For example:

123 Main St

Mytown FL 12345

U

Returns the output in upper case. For example:

123 MAIN ST

MYTOWN FL 12345

Specifies whether ReverseGeocodeUSLocation should determine the address's APN (assessor's parcel number). The APN is an ID number assigned to a property by the local property tax authority. The APN is returned in the APN output field, which is part of the Census output group.

Y

Return APN data.

N

Do not return APN data. Default.

Specifies the format of the latitude/longitude returned by the geocoder.

Decimal

The latitude/longitude is returned in decimal format. Default. For example: 90.000000-180.000000

Integer

The latitude/longitude is returned in integer format. For example: 90000000-180000000

Specifies which geocoding databases to use. One of the following:

PreferCustom

Use both standard databases and custom databases, but give preference to candidates from custom databases. Use this option if you feel your custom database is superior to the standard database.

PreferStandard

Use both standard databases and custom databases, but give preference to candidates from standard databases.

CustomOnly

Use only custom databases. Ignore standard databases

StandardOnly

Use only standard databases. Ignore custom databases.

Both

Use both standard databases and custom databases. In cases where candidates are returned from both, the standard database is preferred. Default.

By default, these are the address fields returned: AddressLine1|LastLine|Longitude|Latitude|MatchCode|LocationCode

Indicates the offset distance from the street segments to use in street-level geocoding. The distance is specified in the units you specify in the OffsetUnits option. The default value varies by country. For most countries, the default is 7 meters.

The offset distance is used in street-level geocoding to prevent the geocode from being in the middle of a street. It compensates for the fact that street-level geocoding returns a latitude and longitude point in the center of the street where the address is located. Since the building represented by an address is not on the street itself, you do not want the geocode for an address to be a point on the street. Instead, you want the geocode to represent the location of the building which sits next to the street.

For example, an offset of 40 feet means that the geocode will represent a point 40 feet back from the center of the street. The distance is calculated perpendicular to the portion of the street segment for the address. Offset is also used to prevent addresses across the street from each other from being given the same point. The diagram below shows an offset point in relation to the original point.

Specifies whether ReverseGeocodeUSLocation should find the nearest street intersection to the input geocode.

Y

Find the nearest street intersection. Default.

N

Do not find the nearest street intersection.
