Input Fields
GeocodeAddressChina takes an address or intersection as input. For China, GeocodeAddressGlobal 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 China.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Data.AddressLine1 |
One of the following:
|
Data.AddressLine2 |
This field is not used in this country. |
Data.City |
The city or town name. For most countries, your input address should use the official city name. |
Data.County |
The meaning of county varies by country.
|
Data.FirmName |
This field is not used in this country. |
Data.HouseNumber |
The building number. You may get better parsing results for some countries if you put the house number in this field instead of AddressLine1. Not every country includes house number data. Note: The house number specified in the HouseNumber field takes
precedence over any house number specified in the AddressLine1
field.
|
Data.LastLine |
The last line of the address.
|
Data.Locality |
The meaning of locality varies by country. Generally a locality is a village in rural areas or it may be a suburb in urban areas. When used, a locality typically appears on the last line of the address with the postcode.
|
Data.PostalCode |
The postal code in the appropriate format for the country. China has a six-digit postcode system. The first
two digits represent the province. The third digit and fourth
digits represent the district and city/town. The final two digits
represent the postal delivery zone or prominent location. Larger
provinces or cities might be assigned more than one block of
codes. For example, Guangdong Province is assigned 51 and 52 as
the first two digits.
Note: For China, postal centroid geocoding
requires the complete six-digit postcode. However, when a postal
code is provided as part of an address for street geocoding,
only four-digit postal codes are accepted and
returned.
|
Data.StateProvince |
The meaning of State/Province varies by country.
