Geocoding Component
Map Suite Geocoder includes a .NET native component for geocoding and reverse geocoding addresses. The bundled 5GB U.S. street dataset, based on TIGER® 2009 from the U.S. census bureau, allows it to convert any U.S.-based address* into an array of valuable data, including:
|
- Latitude
- Longitude
- County
|
- Time Zone
- Daylight Savings
- Elevation
|
- FIPS Codes
- Census Information
- And Many More!
|
*Map Suite Geocoder can be extended to support geocoding in additional locales (requires street data for non-U.S. locales). Please check back with us soon regarding the upcoming availability of non-U.S. data plugins for Map Suite Geocoder.

Reverse Geocoding Component
If you have latitude and longitude coordinates, you can convert them into street addresses and/or lots of other information with the included .NET native reverse geocoding component. You'll receive details about the address like:
|
- Latitude
- Longitude
- County
|
- Time Zone
- Daylight Savings
- Elevation
|
- FIPS Codes
- Census Information
- And Many More!
