Enterprise Geocoding performs address standardization, address geocoding, and postal code centroid geocoding. You can enter an address and get outputs such as geographic coordinates, which can be used for detailed spatial analysis and demographics assignment. You can also enter a geocode, a point represented by a latitude and longitude coordinate, and receive address information about the provided geocode.
Stages
Enterprise Geocoding consists of the following stages. The specific stages you have depend on your license.
- Geocode Global—Takes an address in any supported country and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information. Geocode Address Global geocodes addresses only from countries you have licensed.
- Geocode Address World—Takes an address located in any of the supported countries and returns the city centroid or, for some countries, postal centroid. Geocode World cannot geocode to the street address level.
- Geocode US Address—Takes an input address and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other address information.
- Reverse APN Lookup—Takes an Assessor's Parcel Number (APN), Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) county code, and FIPS state code and returns the address of the parcel.
- Reverse Geocode US Location—Takes as input a geocode (latitude and longitude coordinate) and returns the address of the location.
- Reverse Geocode Global —for all countries except USA.
- Key Lookup—Takes a unique identifier, PreciselyID, as input and returns all standard returns that are provided as part of address matching.
Deprecated Stages
The following stages have been deprecated:
- Geocode Address AUS— Use Spectrum Global Geocoding's Global Geocoding stage.Takes an address in Australia and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information. It also can geocode against a Geocoded National Address File Persistent Identifier point (G-NAF PID).
- Geocode Address GBR—Use Spectrum Global Geocoding's Global Geocoding stage.. Takes an address in Great Britain and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information.
