Geocoding Solution is for websites to geocode any location in the world.
Websites. Now you do not need geocoding street addresses, but simply ask the user to input their NAC (i.e. Universal Address) on your web form as more people know their NAC or can get their NAC on this map that will be more reliable than any geocoding software. With the NAC, you can map the exact location, get the driving directions to it or search its nearby businesses with links like the following: http://nactag.info/default.asp?addr=8CRB Q90H&label=First Square http://nactag.info.asp?saddr=8CNJ Q8ZG&daddr=8CRB Q90H http://nactag.info/default.asp?center=8CRB Q90H&keywords=Pizza These links can be copied with "Copy Link" buttons here. Consumers. You can zoom and pan the map to find your house, click its entrance to lock its NAC, Copy it with "Copy NAC" button and then paste it onto a web form. If the blue box on the map does not cover any part of other houses, then eight characters shall be accurate enough to identify your house (e.g. NAC: 8CRB Q90H instead of NAC: 8CRBH Q90HG). Since the NAC will be frequently used, you'd better keep and remember it as part of your address such as: 4168 Finch Ave. E. Toronto, ON M1S 5H6 Canada NAC: 8CRB Q90Hto avoid repeating the lookup of the NAC. |

About NAC and Universal Address A Natural Area Code (NAC) can represent both an area or a location anywhere in the world. A two, four, six, eight or ten character NAC represents respectively an area about 1000km X 700km (like a province), 33km X 23km (like a city), one square kilometer (like a street block), 35m X 25m (like a building) or one square meter anywhere in the world. Since an eight or ten character NAC has reached the resolution of a traditional address, it is also called a Universal Address, for example, NAC: 8KDB PGFD is the Universal Address of Washington Monument. Using a NAC instead of a traditional address to specify a location can reduce 80% of key input, avoid difficulties in inputting addresses with foreign characters, eliminate the needs of address databases and specify all locations no matter whether there are traditional addresses or not. A group of neighboring NACs can be combined into one NAC such as: 8C Q8 plus 8D Q8 plus 8F Q8 can be written as 8C-F Q8. If the character after the hyphen represents a number smaller than the character before the hyphen, it means a rotation, e.g., 8CX-2 Q8S represents 8CX Q8S plus 8CZ Q8S plus 8D1 Q8S plus 8D2 Q8S (note there are no vowels: A, E, I, O, U, Y in any NAC). A NAC like 8C0-Z Q8D can be simplified to 8C Q8D. Therefore, a NAC can be used to represent various rectangular areas anywhere in the world.
