Single Line Input

Single Line Geographic Geocoding

In this example, unformatted (single line) input is used. Geocode Address World analyzes single line input to identify the geographic address elements (Graz in this example), and then geocodes to a geographic centroid. The MainAddress (street information) is not used.

Sackstraße 10 Graz

Geocode Address World returns a geographic close match candidate based on an City match. Even though the country was not specified, Geocode Address World identifies the close match in Austria (AUT).

If your input addresses are accurate, unformatted input can produce a match rate comparable to that of formatted input. However, geocoding unformatted addresses typically has slower performance than geocoding formatted addresses.

Single Line Postal Geocoding with Country Specified

In this example, single line input is used and a postcode is provided. The country Austria (AUT) is also specified. The street address is also input, but this is ignored by Austria.

Alpenstraße 117 5020 AUT

Austria returns a postal centroid close match candidate (Z1 result code). Because the country (AUT) is specified in the input, the country must be matched and a single close match for that postal code in Austria is returned. Non-close matches with the 5020 postal code from other countries are also returned.

Country: AUT
