Specifying Unit Information in an Address

When you use the G-NAF database, the geocoder recognizes several formats of unit types (such as unit, suite, floor, and flat address prefix) in an address, as illustrated below:

• "Unit 5 6 Macleay Street"—Full unit description used in conjunction with unit value and address number.
• "U 5 6 Macleay Street"—Abbreviated unit description used in conjunction with unit value and address number.
• "5/6 Macleay Street"—No Unit abbreviation with unit number and address number separated by a forward slash notation.

Exact matches on unit and address are placed first in the list of returned candidates.
