Field | Definition |
Latitude | This field holds the WGS 84 latitude in decimal degrees format. |
Longitude | This field holds the WGS 84 longitude in decimal degrees format. |
GeoAccuracy | This field holds the GeoAccuracy (GAC) code. It’s important to note that an address will not geocode to a higher level than the level it’s verified to. For example, an address that verifies to L3 (Thoroughfare) will not geocode higher than L3. |
GeoDistance | This field holds the radius of accuracy in meters, giving an indication of the likely maximum distance between the given geocode and the physical location. For Point-level results (GAC = “PX”), this value may be empty or not returned. Please note that this field is derived from and therefore dependent on the accuracy and coverage of the underlying reference data. |
