Table 1. Matching Options for Finland

optionName

Description

KeepMultimatch

Specifies whether to return results when the coordinates match to multiple candidate addresses in the database. If this option is not selected, coordinates that results in multiple address candidates will fail to geocode.

If you select this option, specify the maximum number of candidates to return using the MaxCandidates option (see below).

Y
Yes, return candidates when multiple candidates are found. Default.
N
No, do not return candidates. Addresses that result in multiple candidates will fail to geocode.

MaxCandidates

If you specify KeepMultimatch=Y, this option specifies the maximum number of results to return. The default is 1. Specify -1 (minus one) to return all possible candidates.

SortCandidatesUsingLocale

This is a Reverse geocoding option that applies to Greece, Russia, Ukraine, and any other country that supports dual character sets (such as the Middle East countries).

Specifies whether candidates are sorted and returned based on the input language. That is, if the input was in Russian, the Russian character candidate is returned first followed by the English language candidate. This will override the dictionary order.

Y
Yes, candidates are sorted and returned based on input language.
N
No, candidates are returned in the order that the dictionary was added to the database, regardless of input language.
