Description: The North American Address Locator enables you to geocode street addresses in North America. The locator is a composite geocoder that supports multiple levels of geocoding. The following levels of geocoding are supported in the USA: street address point, street address, street name, ZIP Code, ZIP+4, and city/state. The following levels of geocoding are supported in Canada: address point, street address, street name, postal code, and city/province.

The locator is based on NAVTEQ Q4 2010 reference data for North America and is limited to the coverage for the United States and Canada.

The locator accepts both single-line and multiline input addresses. The locator can be used to geocode and reverse geocode single addresses or batch geocode multiple addresses.

The data used in the service is in Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) WGS84.

Technical Notes:

Single-line address input does not require comma delimiters (for example, 18 Orchard St Madison WI 53715).

Locations can be searched based on a spatial offset of the address (for example, 500 feet NW from 150 Linden Ave NE).

Missing address components are not penalized.

In Batch Mode there will be no fallback on State locator.
