Custom Options
The following table lists the options that are unique for USA. These custom fields are optional , and unless otherwise noted, they are available for both Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding. For the standard set of options available to all countries and their definitions, see the chapters covering Global Geocode and Global Reverse Geocode.
Option Name | Description |
---|---|
Global Geocode options: Matching tab > Search Criteria | |
Search Area |
These options set the search constraints to use when matching. These can assist in finding a match when the input address contains limited or inaccurate city or ZIP Code information.
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Search Radius Distance |
Note: In Global Reverse Geocode, the Search Distance is a Global Defaults
option.
Then enter the radius value in the Search Radius Distance input textfield and select your unit of measurement using the dropdown menu. |
Search on first letter of Street Address |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Check for first letter Missing/Wrong |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Global Geocode options: Matching tab > Conflicting input | |
Prefer Zip over City |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Prefer PO Box over Street Address |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Firm name lookup |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Global Geocode options: Matching tab > Find Options | |
Building Search on Address Line |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Allow Ranged Address Numbers |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Street Locator |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Global Geocode options: Geocoding tab | |
ZIP Code Centroid Level | A ZIP Code centroid match returns the center point of an area
defined by one of the following types of ZIP Codes:
|
Calculate Centerline Projection of Point | Computes the closest point on the
street from the parcel point. Default = disabled.
Note: This feature requires that a point-level
geocoding dataset is installed.
|
Centerline offset |
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Global Geocode options: Return Values tab | |
For information about the return fields for USA, see Custom Output Fields. | |
Mixed case output address | Returns candidate information in mixed case rather than uppercase. Default = mixed case. |
Output corrected last line | Corrects elements of the output lastline, providing a good ZIP Code or close
match on the soundex even if the address would not match or was non-existent.
Note: Supported only in forward geocoding.
|
Return coordinates as integer | Returns the LAT and LON custom output fields as integer values in millionths of degrees. The
default is the LAT and LON custom output fields are returned as decimal values. Note: Supported
only in forward geocoding.
|
Global Reverse Geocode options: Reverse Geocoding tab > Find Options | |
Find Options - These options set the constraints to use when matching. | |
Nearest Address | Attempts to match to the nearest address. Default = enabled. |
Nearest Intersection | Attempts to match to the nearest intersection match. Default = disabled. |
Nearest Unranged Segment | Attempts to match to the nearest unranged segment. Default = disabled. |
Prefer Match to Closest Point | Attempts to match to the nearest point address within
the search radius, rather than to the closest feature (for example, street
segment or intersection as well as point addresses). Default =
disabled. Note: This feature requires that at least one points dataset and
one streets dataset are loaded; otherwise, the match will be made to the
closest feature.
|
Keep multiple matches | Select this option to return candidate addresses whenever the match attempt produces candidates. If you enable this option, the geocoder will return candidates both when the input address matches to a single address and when the input address matches multiple addresses. Default =disabled. |
