xS-XF: Geocoding with rooftop coordinates

[Bernd Welter]

Here's a little screenshot of a preview I showed during yesterdays FIT FOR PROFIT. Thanks to DEV!

The upcoming approach of geocoding will enable us to provide much better detail levels on so-called address points:

• rooftop coordinates versus street coordinates
• house number precision level including appendices (such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/221B_Baker_Street )

Feedback: welcome!

Doc: https://api-xstwo.cloud.ptvgroup.com/da ... ddress.htm

Demo: https://api-xstwo.cloud.ptvgroup.com/da ... ing/Basic/

Note: If you want to test it in your own code, you must append ?xtok=<your token> at the url. Read the starter guide for detailed infos: http://xserver.ptvgroup.com/forum/viewt ... f=44&t=287

yes, there we go. I made some tests with the sample service and after that I've been told that the data is already quite good but the engine development is still in progress and requires some enhancements such as
- proper dealing with abbreviations (Germany: "STR." instead of "STRASSE")
- dealing with missing pieces
and this is about to come. So do not wonder if you miss something at the moment: we will be able to find it later
