Global Interactive Geocode Features

Spectrum Global Geocoding provides the following capabilities when built into your Spectrum Technology Platform application.

  • Single street address or placename matching as you type. Multiline support allows you to add more fields to restrict the search and return more accurate candidates.
  • Match Modes: Standard (default), Close and Relaxed.
  • Filter searches by distance from a given X/Y origin, administrative area or other limiting input value, data type (streets or place names).
  • Candidates returned in order based on distance from X/Y origin
  • Matched fields returned with candidates

For both address searches and placename searches, a web application with interactive geocoding can display candidates as the user types. With additional typing, more specific information is revealed and the results are refined to display more relevant candidates. Candidates include the full address, placename category and subcategory, and indicate the distance from the origin if the distance is provided in the input.
