Geocoding o A process that assigns a latitude/longitude coordinate to an address. Once a lat/long is assigned, the geocoded address can be displayed on a map, used in a decision making workflow, used in a transaction and/or injected into a larger business process.

Brief History of Geocoding 1980’s – ZIP Centroid, DIME Files Early 1990’s – TIGER, GDT (County-based) Mid 1990’s – US Nationwide geocoding 2000 – Geocoding with Full Postal Conflation with Monthly Data Updates and CASS matching rules Early 2000’s - Street-level Intl Geocoding 2005 – Parcel Centroid Geocoding 2006 – Reverse Geocoding Late 2000’s – Geocoding Explosion with MapQuest, Google, Bing Maps, GPS and Mobile 2010 and beyond – POIs, Indoor geocoding, 3D geocoding Pitney Bowes | The Foundation For Spatial Analytics | Sept
Reverse Geocoding - Defined Reverse Geocoding returns an ADDRESS for a given coordinate, usually a Latitude / Longitude Lat/Lons typically generated from a GPS-enable device such as a smart phone Pitney Bowes | The Foundation For Spatial Analytics | Sept
Reverse Geocoding 13 Reverse geocoding is more complex than forward geocoding; the number of possible answers are greater. Reverse geocoding also cascades from most accurate to least accurate possible locations, including point-level address, interpolated address, street centerline, etc. Input Coordinates: Latitude: Longitude: Output Address: 4423 Colorado Ave Boulder, CO Pitney Bowes | The Foundation For Spatial Analytics | Sept 2015
14 Point-Level Geocoding Updates Pitney Bowes | The Foundation For Spatial Analytics | Sept 2015
Geocoding – Address Interpolation Interpolation approximates the location of an address based on the length of the segment and the address range assigned to the segment. For example, an address of 49 Main Street is halfway into the address range, so it is located half way along the segment on the odd side. Note: Sprint owns TomTom Streets w/ EGM today Pitney Bowes | The Foundation For Spatial Analytics | Sept
Geocoding – Point Level is the New Accuracy Standard Positional accuracy is close to exact Pitney Bowes | The Foundation For Spatial Analytics | Sept
