Geocoding and reverse geocoding introduction
Description
The Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding services enrich postal address data with geographical coordinates, or retrieve address information from latitude and longitude coordinates.
Geocoding addresses with LATLG
The LATLG API provides a geocoding service that locates the geographical coordinates, latitude and longitude, of an address.
Input data can come from:
- SINGLE: single, precise address input for targeted geolocation.
- FUNNEL: multiple address entries or partial address data used to determine the most accurate geolocation.
This functionality is useful for mapping services, location-based analytics, and applications requiring address-to-coordinate translation.
Reverse geocoding
The SINGLE API also includes a reverse geocoding feature that retrieves address information from geographical coordinates and a defined radius.
- Latitude and longitude input: precise coordinates used as the starting point.
- Radius-based search: returns potential addresses within the defined radius.
This service is useful for logistics, real-time location tracking, and localized service delivery.
