Page 3 More coverage. Greater accuracy. Pitney Bowes offers geocoding in over 240 countries/ territories worldwide. These offerings are grouped into different categories by the geocoding s positional accuracy level.

Postcode and city accuracy The World Geocoder takes addresses from more than 40 countries/territories worldwide and provides postcode or city centroid coordinates. In countries where no more detailed address data is available, it provides a basic reliable, accuracy level. interpolated accuracy For a key set of 121 countries/territories, Pitney Bowes provides a high accuracy level of address geocoding, interpolated along a house number range on a street segment. This level also provides street centroid and street intersection geocoding. This accuracy level is appropriate for the majority of Location Intelligence applications, especially because the geocoded location could be refined by various offsets. accuracy Highly accurate geocoding is provided by utilizing address data as a reference data set for geocoding. The associated address is returned as it is without any further processing. Depending on the source data, the geocode may come in one of the following flavors: center of the property s location (parcel centroid), center of the building, or even as doorway or post-box, or property entrance. Also, Points Of Interest are covered by this level. Individual country and language/character set Our code base for international geocoding supports UTF-8 character sets, so it is enabled to process all the various world-wide character sets as input and as reference data. However, that does not mean the geocoders can translate and match input from any language into the same language as our reference data out-of-the box.
