Geocoding is a service that allows you to convert an address or a location description (e.g., "Via Roma 10, Milan") into precise geographic coordinates such as latitude and longitude in real-time. This is useful for pinpointing a specific location on a map, facilitating operations such as navigation and digital map management.
Reverse Geocoding, on the other hand, performs the opposite operation: it converts geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a readable address or location description, such as a street name, city, or specific area.
The Geocoding service is available for 196 countries with high-precision mapping.
The Geocoding service returns the following information based on an address or geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude):
- Request ID
- Provider
- Latitude and Longitude
- Boundaries (North, South, West, East)
- Street Number
- Address Name
- Postal Code
- City
- 3 Administrative Levels (e.g., Region, Province, City) with information such as level, code, and name
- Country and Country Code
The Geocoding service is designed for companies in sectors such as logistics, real estate, food delivery, and those that need to locate a specific point on a map, simplify navigation route visualization, and manage digital maps.
