Use of site coordinates is strongly recommended in preference to site address as it avoids any inaccuracy introduced with geocoding.

Site address geocoding

Site addresses must be geocodable using HERE Maps.

The more precise you can specify a location, the more accurate the location will be reported. That might seem obvious, but HERE Maps will provide a 'successful' result on coarse data, and this might be undesirable.

Geocoding examples

Imprecise address

Moorabool St, Geelong, VIC 3220, Australia

(Location displayed is a calculated geographic 'centre' of the street.)

Precise Address
