GeoComplete Module Features

The GeoComplete Module provides the following capabilities when built into your Spectrumâ„¢ Technology Platform application. The following capabilities are supported.

  • Select country (optional). See GeoComplete Coverage for a list of available countries.
  • Single and multiple line input search for street addresses
  • Candidates returned in order based on distance from X/Y origin
  • Search points of interest (POI)
  • Search All to include both street addresses and POI
  • Search POI categories and subcategories
  • Localized categories and subcategories for countries with localized data.
  • Search for brand (such as a specific hotel chain) in categories and subcategories
  • Search within a bounding box
  • Fuzzy match capabilities
  • Matched fields reported with returned candidates
    Note: POI and category/subcategory features are available only if you have licensed and installed POI data.

For both address searches and POI searches, candidates are displayed as you type. As you type more specific information, the results are refined to display more relevant candidates. Candidates include the full address, POI category and subcategory (if the candidate is a Point of Interest), and indicate the distance from the origin.

The GeoComplete Module is packaged with a sample application that demonstrates many capabilities. This sample application includes a mapping feature, but it does not represent all the capabilities of GeoComplete. This is for sample and demonstration purposes only and is not a supported application. To use the sample application, run:

http://<serverIP>:8080/geocomplete

After installing and deploying the GeoComplete module, you can use the Management Console to explore all the capabilities and see candidate results. You can also include GeoComplete as a stage in your dataflow in Enterprise Designer.

You can expose additional features and preferences through the REST and SOAP APIs. See Using the APIs.
