Geocoding

G-trac system provides the facility of geocoding, a process of finding allied geographic coordinates, i.e. latitude and longitude with the help of geographic data say for example- street address, or postal address.

Various uses:

• Geocoded locations are helpful in many GIS analysis and cartography errands.
• Geocoding is widespread on the web, for services like finding driving directions to or from some address, or a list of the geographically nearest store or service locations.
• Geocoding is one of the methods for obtaining geographic coordinates for geotagging media, such as photographs.
• Useful for mapping a location.
• It enables you to see where data is placed.
• Identify a region or territory.

How It Works?

The geocoding geographic software depends upon stored longitude/latitude designations for the end points of sections of streets. For example, a geocoding software package will have stored in it the longitude and latitude of each of the endpoints of the "600 block" of "Main Street" in a particular town. It will relate the address "600" with one end point, and the address "700" with the other endpoint. An address in that block will dispersed a longitude and latitude location that is between the two endpoints in the same relationship by which the street address is between 600 and 700.
