Geocoding Preferences

Preference Description
Street Offset This specifies the value for the offset. Valid value units are feet and meters. Default value is 7 meters.
Return coordinates as integer This specifies the value for the format for Latitude/ Longitude values. Valid value units is Integer.
Return coordinates in This specifies the value for the Return coordinates. Valid value are NAD27 and NAD83. NAD83 is equivalent to Global Geocode's default value WGS84.
Note:
You must manually convert the GGM output coordinates to NAD27 if you are using NAD27.
Use Address Point Interpolation When set to true, enables address point interpolation. Default = false. Supported only in forward geocoding.
Note:
The address point interpolation feature requires you to have a point and segment geocoding dataset installed.
Centerline This determines the Street Centerline Coordinates.
Note:
Only when the Centerline checkbox is selected, Street Centerline Coordinates would be returned.
Centerline Offset Specifies the distance to offset the point from centerline. Default = 0. Supported in forward geocoding only.
Corner Offset Specifies the offset distance from the street segments to use in street-level geocoding. Default = 7 Meters.
Centroid Preferences Below Centroid Preferences are available for US Geocodig:
  1. Type of Geocode is set to Address with no fallbacks turned on.
  2. Type of Geocode is set to Postal. When an address-level geocode cannot be determined, attempt to return a ZIP Code centroid.
  3. Type of Geocode is set to Address with following fallbacks:
    • Fallback to Street Centroid.
    • ZIP Code centroid: A ZIP Code centroid match returns the center point of an area defined by different types of ZIP Codes.
    • Geographic centroid : When an address-level geocode cannot be determined, attempt to return a centroid of a geographic area. The geocoder returns the most precise geographic centroid that it can based on the input. For example, if the input contains a valid city and state, a city centroid would be returned.
      Note:
      Turn on Fallback to Geographic Centroid in GGM's Geocode tab for this to function.
Allow PreciselyID fallback/ Search Distance Allow PreciselyID Fallback is a custom geocoding preference for USA addresses that returns a PreciselyID unique identifier. Once the address contains a PreciselyID. The PreciselyID PBKey Fallback requires that you have licensed and installed Master Location Data (MLD).

The PreciselyID of the nearest MLD point located within the maximum fallback distance provided is returned.
