Input Fields
GeocodeAddressAUS takes an address or intersection as input. To obtain the best performance and the most possible matches, your input address lists should be as complete as possible, free of misspellings and incomplete addresses, and as close to postal authority standards as possible. Most postal authorities have websites that contain information about address standards for their particular country.
The following table lists the input fields used for geocoding locations in Australia.
