Custom Options

There are some countries that support setting custom matching and/or geocoding options that are specific to the country.

Custom options are offered for the following countries:

For detailed information, see the "Custom Options" section in the country's write-up.

In addition, for countries that support both custom user dictionaries and standard geocoding datasets, you can set a custom preference with the key KEY_CUSTOM_DICTIONARY_USAGE that will define the searching and matching preferences when both custom and standard dictionaries are available in the geocoding engine. This option is only available with forward geocoding. To locate information on whether your country supports custom user dictionaries, refer to the "Supported Geocoding Datasets" section in the country's write-up.

The following tables providetable provides information on how to implement a custom option.
