Key Features
Geocode
Experience pin point accuracy with premise-level geo-coordinates for 120 countries worldwide, including point-level (rooftop) geocoding in 60 countries and city centre positions for over 250 countries. Our geocoding product supports both forward and reverse geocoding, allowing users to convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa.
Users have the flexibility to input postcodes, addresses, or even localities. Our system automatically corrects address errors ensuring you have the most accurate coordinates possible. We've also integrated non-Latin character set transliteration, empowering users to input locations in their native languages
If you have large datasets, you can submit batches of addresses or even a combination of both coordinates and addresses for geocoding. Our geocoding is built using our proprietary data process for PDH data. We collect extensive address and geocode data from hundreds of sources around the world to build the most complete and accurate dataset possible.
Global Reference Data
The Global Reference Data is Loqate’s proprietary master database which contains the most comprehensive premise level location reference data in the world, covering 250 countries and territories.
Loqate curates its reference data by securing and combining multiple data sources for each country and territory, beyond official postal authorities, with geospatial and utility companies’ datasets into a consistent and reliable single view of a location.
Distances
Calculate distances and travel times for an array of locations. Providing travel time helps users mentally visualise their journey to the destination, offering a psychological advantage over just knowing the mileage. This versatile feature offers different transport methods (car, cycling, walking), and can handle up to 1000 locations per request.

Mapping

Unlike Google, we won't render additional points of interest on our map. This keeps the map clear of clutter so that users can focus on your locations. More importantly, it won't display your competitor's stores nearby.
