The JMap Geocoding Extension allows users to determine the location of a building corresponding to a postal address, or to determine which postal address corresponds to a point clicked on the display.

Geocoding is one of the cornerstones of mapping systems: it represents the link between the billions of postal addresses that match residential, industrial and commercial buildings and their representation on a map.

Online Geocoding Engine

The online geocoding engine allows users to type an address and to find its location on a map.

The online geocoding engine has the following characteristics:

• Street, ZIP code, city, state/province, and country information,

• Phonetic research on street and city names,

• Choice of display on the middle of the segment or on a precise location on the segment.

Inverse Geocoding Engine

The inverse geocoding engine comprises the following features:

• Choice of attributes to display in point's tooltip,

• Maximum distance from point to street for postal address display,

• Maximum distance from point to intersection for intersection display.

Batch Geocoding Engine

This engine allows an organization to launch a batch procedure that geocodes a large amount of addresses at once and creates the set of points corresponding to these addresses. An online wizard helps the user manage the various conflicts due to ambiguities or more than one address. This wizard classifies the list of potential address according to an optimal matching criterion.
