Map Suite 3.0
Geocoder .NET Geocoding Component

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!

Optimized United States Dataset Included

Map Suite Geocoder comes packaged with a full set of high-performance map data covering the entire United States, based on the TIGER® data sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau, so there's nothing extra to buy. The included data features:

  • 5GB of detailed street data covering the entire United States, with a 2.3GB DBF index
  • Highly optimized dataset for maximum performance with Map Suite Geocoder
  • Based on the latest TIGER® 2009 street data for accuracy and reliability
  • Continuous updates from the United States Census Bureau to keep you up to date
  • A full array of additional details like census tracts, FIPS codes and county names

High-Performance Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding

Map Suite Geocoder's .NET components provide extremely high-performance geocoding and reverse geocoding. The following benchmarks demonstrate the blazing fast performance and low memory utilization that the Map Suite Geocoder can deliver:

Geocoding Performance Benchmarks

Thread Count Record Count Memory Before Geocoding (MB) Memory After Geocoding (MB) Time Taken (s) Time/Record (ms)
 
1 40,000 19.00 19.00 240 6.00
2 40,000 19.00 19.00 136 3.40
3 40,000 19.00 19.00 111 2.78
4 40,000 19.00 19.00 104 2.60

Reverse Geocoding Performance Benchmarks

Thread Count Record Count Memory Before Geocoding (MB) Memory After Geocoding (MB) Time Taken (s) Time/Record (ms)
 
1 1,000 14.80 14.80 58 58.00
2 1,000 15.60 15.60 34 34.00
3 1,000 15.60 15.60 24 24.00
4 1,000 16.70 16.70 22 22.00

The preceding benchmarks were conducted on an Intel Core2Quad Q6800 with 4GB of RAM and a single 7200 RPM hard disk.

Includes Sample Applications with Source Code

Easily see how to accomplish the most common tasks with Map Suite Geocoder thanks to our built-in sample applications for the desktop, the Web, and Silverlight, each of which comes with complete source code in C# and VB. The "How Do I?" samples include:

  • Geocoding in Chicago
  • Reverse Geocoding in Chicago
  • Batch Geocoding in Chicago
  • Build an Index File
  • Create a Text File MatchingPlugin
  • Create a Database MatchingPlugin
  • Fuzzy Logic Searching
  • Census Tract Searching New
  • Census Block Searching New
  • Census BlockGroup Searching New
  • Post Code Searching New

The free evaluation of Map Suite Geocoder ships with a small set of sample data. The full 5GB dataset will be shipped to you on disc when you purchase the full licensed version.
