To increase the chance of successful delivery, for example in rural areas, you can enrich the verified addresses with geocodes. Geocodes identify the latitude and longitude of an address.
A verifier asset supports the following levels of geocoding:
Rooftop
Rooftop geocoordinates map to the center of the roof of the primary building on a parcel of land.
ArrivalPoint
ArrivalPoint geocoordinates map to a point in the center of the street segment in front of a house or a building.
StreetCenter
StreetCenter geocoordinates map to an approximate mid-point of the street, based on known geocodes for locations nearby.
LocalityCenter
LocalityCenter geocoordinates map to an approximate mid-point of the locality, based on known geocodes for locations nearby.
PostalCodeCenter
PostalCodeCenter geocoordinates map to a post office that handles mail for the address.
The maximum available precision of the geocodes depends on the depth of the geocoding data that the reference data stores for the country. If verification cannot return geocodes to the level of precision that you select, it returns the geocodes to the closest possible level of precision.
You can select the following fields for each level of geocoding precision:
[Geocoding Level] Accuracy Code
Returns the level of accuracy to which a verifier can return geocodes for an address in a given country.
[Geocoding Level] Coordinates
Returns the closest latitude and longitude coordinates that a verifier can return for the input address.
[Geocoding Level] Latitude
Returns the closest latitude coordinates that a verifier can return for the input address.
[Geocoding Level] Longitude
Returns the closest longitude coordinates that a verifier can return for the input address.
Geocoding Accuracy Codes
The geocoding accuracy code fields describe the result of the geocoding process for an output address. The fields can indicate the level of precision to which address verification returns the geocodes. Find the fields in the Geo Coding output group.
The verifier asset includes geocoding accuracy code data fields for every level of geocoding precision. For example, the asset provides an Arrival Point Accuracy Code field that contains status values for addresses that return Arrival Point geocode data.
The geocoding accuracy code fields can return the following geocoding status values:
ER_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE
Verification cannot find the geocoding database.
ER_NOT_UNLOCKED
The geocoding database is not unlocked.
ER_DATA_CORRUPT
The geocoding database is corrupted.
NOTHING_FOUND
Verification cannot append geocoordinates to the input address because no geocoordinates are available for the address.
POCO_CENTER
Geocoordinates are accurate to the postal code level.
LOCALITY_CENTER
Geocoordinates are accurate to the locality level.
STREET_CENTER
Geocoordinates are accurate to the street level.
INTERPOLATED
Geocoordinates are accurate to the house number level. (Estimated location of the parcel of land with street-side offset.)
POINT_ARRIVAL_POINT
Geocoordinates are accurate to arrival point level. (Measured entryway to the parcel of land.)
