What's New

This release includes geocoder enhancements, interactive point-level datasets, dataset improvements, and bug fixes.

Note: As data is enriched with the quarterly refreshes, the size of the datasets could grow thereby increasing memory requirements. Continuous housekeeping of your databases and managing/deleting unused data is highly recommended for optimal performance.
Note: From this release, Interactive Geocoding will be known as Address Autocomplete.
Note: Geo Addressing, also known as Geocoding, brings together Precisely’s Geocoding, Address Verification, and Address Autocomplete product features. Therefore, Geocoding will be referred to as Geo Addressing from this release.
Note: This release includes 2 new Master Location Data (MLD) bundles "EGM-WORLD-MLD-GLB" and "GCM-WORLD-MLD-GLB" each for Geocoding and Address Autocomplete.

Alternate language support

Alternate language is available for the countries: Algeria (DZA), Bahrain (BHR), Egypt (EGY), Iraq (IRQ), Jordan (JOR), Kuwait (KWT), Lebanon (LBN), Morocco (MAR), Oman (OMN), Qatar (QAT), Saudi Arabia (SAU), United Arab Emirates (ARE), Yemen (YEM). For information on supported languages for the respective countries, see Datasets By Country

Main address fields such as FormattedStreetAddress, FormattedLocationAddress, State, Province, PostalCode, District Town, and Locality will be converted to the alternate language supported by the geocoder.

To enable this feature, set the custom preference RETURN_ALT_LANG_FIELDS to "true" in the Geo Addressing SDK or Spectrum Global Geocoding.

All Geocoders: Support for street centroid fallback

New custom geocoding preference is added, FALLBACK_TO_STREET_CENTROID which returns the street centroid level match (S4) when set to true for input with no matching house number. The default value for this preference is false.

This centroid is the section of the street containing the closest house number for the input. It can have a different point than when you do not provide a house number in the input.

The closest house for the given input is returned when “RETURN_INPUT_HOUSE_ON_S4_MATCH" is set to true.

For example, the input of “Calle Major 123” will now return the "Calle Major" with precision of S4 along with the “CLOSEST_HOUSE_NUMBER” candidate for “78”, if the closest house number in the data is "78"

Tajikistan(TJK), Georgia(GEO): Support for new country development

The geocoder for Tajikistan and Georgia now supports Street Geocoding and Address Autocomplete. The highest street precision level for both countries is Address Points.
