Updated Interactive "type ahead" Geocoding Features

Updated Custom Dataset Builder tool

Using the Custom Dataset Builder tool, you can now create custom datasets for interactive geocoding and use them with other Precisely country datasets or by itself when licensed.
  • Applies to Master Location Data (MLD) datasets: USA, CAN, AUS
  • Use your custom datasets (SPD format) with Spectrum Global Geocoding or Global Geocoding SDK

For more information about data requirements, commands, and creating configuration files, see the Custom Dataset Builder section of the Spectrum Global Geocoding Guide.

Added Interactive preference to search by Address Number

When you input just a number in the MainAddressLine, candidates with street names that match the input number are returned. If the new SEARCH_ADDRESS_NUMBER preference is enabled, the system now returns candidates whose Address Number matches the input.

Requirements

  • Use with these datasets: USA MLD (8US), Canada MLD (8CA), Australia GNAF (7AU), and Great Britain (GB8)
  • Set the preference using the Global Geocoding SDK (GGS). By default, it is set to false.

Example - an input of 350 could return the following candidates:

  • 225 S 350 E, # 350E, PIMA, AZ 85543
  • 1244 W 350 N, PIMA, AZ 85543
  • 112 E 350 N, BLACKFOOT, ID 83221

Once you set SEARCH_ADDRESS_NUMBER=true, the same input would return these candidates:

  • 350 EDNA RD, HOOVER, AL 35244
  • 350 OAK LEAF CIR, HOOVER, AL 35244
  • 350 SUMMIT PL, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35243
