Input Fields

For Vietnam, Geocode Address Global takes a street address , PO Box 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 Vietnam.

AddressLine1Data.AddressLine1

For most countries, the AddressLine1 field should contain the address line that has the street name and building number and/or PO Box in it.

This field can also contain the full address. For more information, see Single Line Input.

Addresses in CAN, FRA and GBR containing PO Box information in place of, or in addition to, street address can be geocoded.

For all countries except Argentina, Great Britain, and Japan, this field can contain a street intersection. To specify a street intersection, use double ampersand (&&) to separate the streets. For more information, see Street Intersection Input.

  • This field can also contain the full address. For more information, see Single Line Input
  • For all countries except Argentina, Great Britain, and Japan, this field can contain a street intersection. To specify a street intersection, use double ampersand (&&) to separate the streets. For more information, see Street Intersection Input.

For France, an input street address can include a numbered range. For example, consider an input address of 104-106 rue de Charenton. The returned candidate includes two address ranges, and the 104 close match is from the 100-106 range. Alphanumeric ranged addresses are also handled (for example, you could input a alphanumeric ranged address like 2A-4B. If the geocoding database has alphabetic values for the input house number, the geocoder returns the house number as it exists in the database (with or without the alphabetic character). If the geocoder cannot confirm alphabetic values for the input house number, it returns the alphabetic value that was provided on input (as long as the house number matched).

This field is not used with countries included with the Africa bundle (Product Code XA1), Middle East bundle (Product Code XM1), or Latin America bundle (Product Code XL1). These databases generally have less comprehensive address coverage.

This field is not used in this country.

City

Data.City

The city or town name. For most countries, your input address should use the official city name or alias. For Argentina, Austria, Bahamas, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, and Switzerland, you can use the town name or alias. For example, for the town of Praha, the aliases of Praag, Prag, Prague, Praga are all supported. For example, "Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires" and "Buenos Aires" are recognized as aliases for Capital Federal. For example, Wien and Vienna are aliases and both names can be used on input. When you geocode, the input name is returned with the candidate. For example: if you use Wien on input, Wien is returned in the output. If you use Vienna on input, Vienna is returned in the output. For example, Losanna is one of the aliases for Lausanne. The alias can be either a local alternative name or a language alternative (Basque or Catalan). The city name returned will match the name specified in the input. For example, Xàbia is an alias of Jávea. If the input address uses Jávea, then Jávea will be returned; if the input address uses Xàbia, then Xàbia will be returned. For Finland, Finnish, Swedish, and other language aliases are supported for major post town names. For example, Grankulla is an alias for Kauniainen. Italian and German town name aliases are recognized. For example, Arécio is an alias for Arezzo. Likewise, Neumarkt is an alias for Egna. For example, either Miguel Hidalgo or Mexico City can be used. For example, either Reahel instead of Rohel can be used. For example, Lisbon, Lisbonne, Lissabon, and Lisbona are aliases for Lisboa. For example, Lubiana, Liubliana, and Laibach are aliases for Ljubljana.

Note: In Argentina, Buenos Aires Federal District is not part of Buenos Aires province. If your input specifies only "Buenos Aires", Spectrum Technology Platform returns candidates in both the Federal District and in the region of Buenos Aires.

For provincial capitals in Argentina, you can use the word Capital as well as the actual capital name. For example, input of "Capital, MZA" is equivalent to "Mendoza, MZA".

Some areas in France are generally recognized as cities even though they are not truly administrative cities. These areas represent Artificial City Areas, or Virtual Towns. For a listing of supported virtual towns, see Address Guidelines for France.

For Indonesia, this field contains the subdistrict. For example, Jakarta is an alias for Jakarta Utara.

The subdistrict (tambon).

For Thailand, this field contains the subdistrict (tambon).

This field contains the municipality subdivision (oaza).

The city and county can be swapped on input. That is, if a city appears in either the City input field or in the County input field, the geocoder will still return the correct candidate. Similarly, a locality can be entered in either the Locality or City input field.

County

Data.County

The meaning of county varies by country.

The Local Government Authority (LGA) name.

The majority of countries in the Africa database (XA1) do not use a county or equivalent as part of an address.

The majority of countries in the Middle East database (XM1) do not use a county or equivalent as part of an address.

The majority of countries in the Latin American database (XL1) do not use a county or equivalent as part of an address.

Locality

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.

African and Middle East countries do not use a locality or equivalent as part of an address. However there is no penalty if state/province is used in input address.
