Follow these guidelines to provide input that Geocode Address Global can successfully geocode. For additional information about the Chinese postal system, see the China Post website: http://www.chinapost.cn/.

  • Required fields—Addresses must contain either a city or a postal code.
  • Abbreviations in addresses—The geocoder recognizes common words, directionals, house number indicators, and abbreviations used in addresses and can geocode these addresses successfully.
  • Numbers, Numeric Equivalents, and Ordinals—Numbered streets are mapped to the named equivalents. Ordinals are also recognized in input addresses.
