  9. Mobile: Geocoding Services - What are they? Geocoding (sometimes called forwardgeocoding) is the process of enriching a description of a location, most typically a postal address or place name, with geographic coordinates (Long & Lat). www.Wikipedia.com 9.0300° N, 38.7400° E Geocoding converts or enriches a human readable address to a computer readable address or vice-versa.

  10. Reverse Geocoding services – How do they work?

  11. Geocoding services - Considerations • Considerations when implementing reverse geocoding: • Various geocoding services providers • Paid solutions vs Free solutions • Geographic coverage • Performance of the solution • Uptime • Number of geocoding requests that you expect to process a day • Compatibility of Geographic/Administrative layers • Device & Browser compatibility

  12. Advantages of Geocoding Services The Location Based Services provides the following benefits: • It is user friendly, easy to use, makes dissemination interesting as it cut through many administrative layers that the user might not be interested in and direct the user to the data about their immediate surroundings. • Communities can use the service to prioritise on their service delivery needs. • A person who has visited a particular location and want to know statistical information about that area can also use this service. • A business person might use the service to get a quick glimpse of the local economic data in an area that he is considering for business. • Politicians can access the information when addressing constituents.
