Reverse Geocoding Codes (R Codes)

Matches in the R category indicate that the record was matched by reverse geocoding. The second two characters of the R result code indicate the type of match found. R geocode results include an additional letter to indicate the dictionary from which the match was made.

Example reverse geocoding codes:

Reverse Geocoding Code

Description

RS8A

Point/parcel level precision for reverse geocoding. Candidate returned from address dictionary.

RS8G

Point/parcel level precision. Candidate returned from Australia G-NAF database with G-NAF Reliability level of 1 or 2.

RS7G

Candidate returned from Australia G-NAF database with G-NAF Reliability level of 3.

RS5A

Interpolated street candidate for reverse geocoding. Candidate returned from address dictionary.

RS4A

Street centroid candidate for reverse geocoding. Candidate returned from address dictionary.

RS4G

Candidate returned from Australia G-NAF database with a G-NAF Reliability level of 4 (associated with a unique road feature)

RSGG

Candidate returned from Australia G-NAF database with G-NAF Reliability Level 5 (locality or neighbourhood) or with Level 6 (unique region.)

RSLA

Candidate returned from India address dictionary with a sublocality (block or sector) match. In India, street name information is often not available, but a sublocality can be a very small area. Therefore an RSLA match can be more precise than a street centroid RS4 match.

If the reverse geocoded candidate comes from a user dictionary, the letter U is appended to the result. For example, RS8U indicates a point/parcel level reverse geocode match from a custom user dictionary.
