GeocodingLevel Enumeration

GeocodingLevel Enumeration

Indicates the maximum geocoding level in the hierarchical order (from street level matching to country level matching) for the points of interest data uploaded for geocoding on the MapPoint servers.

Public Enum GeocodingLevel Inherits System.Enum

[C#]
public enum GeocodingLevel : System.Enum

Remarks

Name	Description
City	Indicates that the city level geocoding is allowed. If this geocoding level is selected, all ambiguous addresses at street and postal code levels are geocoded against their city names.
CountryRegion	Indicates that the country/region level geocoding is allowed. If this geocoding level is selected, all ambiguous addresses at street, postal code and city levels are geocoded against their country names.
PostalCode	Indicates that the postal code level geocoding is allowed. If this geocoding level is selected, all ambiguous addresses at street level are geocoded against their postal codes.
Street	Indicates that the points of interest data will be geocoded at the street name (and number) level. When an ambiguious address is found with this geocoding level, that record will not be marked as ambiguious and will not be geocoded at other levels such as postal code or city and so on.
Subdivision	Indicates that the subdivision/state level geocoding is allowed. If this geocoding level is selected, all ambiguous addresses at street, postal code and city levels are geocoded against their state/subdivison.
