Two Digit / Postal Code

[Max Beermann]

Hey Bernd,

is there any chance to find/suggest addresses (xLocate / findAddress)
by using only CountryCode + The first two digits of a postalcode?

Example/Thought:

Code: Select all

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <findAddress xmlns="http://types.xlocate.xserver.ptvag.com">
      <Address_1 country="D" postCode="48*" city="" city2="" street="" houseNumber="" />
      <ArrayOfSearchOptionBase_2 />
      <ArrayOfSortOption_3 />
      <ArrayOfResultField_4 />
      <CallerContext_5>
        <ns2:wrappedProperties xmlns:ns2="http://baseservices.service.jabba.ptvag.com">
          <ns2:CallerContextProperty value="PTV_MERCATOR" key="CoordFormat" />
          <ns2:CallerContextProperty value="default" key="Profile" />
        </ns2:wrappedProperties>
      </CallerContext_5>
    </findAddress>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Hello Max,

this is a contradiction to the definition of geocoding:

To geocode an address means to get a coordinate of a given address.
What you describe is the usecase "extract data" which is not the core feature and also "not wanted".

Therefore we can't push this
If you need an index of the data please get in touch with sales to get an offer for the data itself (via DDS)

Best regards,
Bernd

Have you already switched of the FrequencyFilter in the native-default.ini?

Hey there,

absolutely no problem : )
I am not a friend of using inaccurate data, too.

Unfortunately > tenders, inquiries, etc are often based on two-digit zip codes.

But - of course - we can deal with that!
Thanks for the answer; then I will contact sales if necessary.

PS: I can not say it more often > I am thrilled how nice and helpful this forum "lives".

Best regards
Max

Hello Mr. Beermann,

what we could do is to extract the x/y coordinates out of our POSTCODE 2 Layer Europe (Centroids). Surly those have to be licensed under a specific use case. I could prepare this, but to offer this I need to know more about the usecase.

Regards

Andreas
