Map Suite Geocoder is a .NET based geocoding and reverse geocoding tool that transforms addresses or coordinates into location data, such as longitude, latitude, and time zone. It also provides other data like elevation and county, and is constructed on the Map Suite 3.x engine.

Map Suite Geocoder offers much more than just street addresses. It also provides additional details such as elevation, county, time zone, and much more, giving you valuable insight into the location you're mapping. To ensure accuracy, the software ships with an optimized set of United States street data based on TIGER(R) 2009 from the U.S. Census Bureau. In the future, Map Suite Geocoder is also set to support geocoding almost anywhere, with extensible updates on the pipeline.
With Map Suite Geocoder, you no longer have to guess where your customers are coming from. Instead, you can rest assured that you have the exact location information you need.
One of the unique features of Map Suite Geocoder is that it is a true .NET native component. This functionality makes it possible to convert an address into a wide range of valuable geographic data, including latitude, longitude, and more. Additionally, the included reverse geocoder feature can convert coordinates into a postal address, providing yet another layer of accurate data.
Moreover, the support for plug-in modules that deliver additional geocoding functionality makes it possible to customize Map Suite Geocoder to meet your precise business needs. You can even add your own custom searches based on different parameters like phone area codes or other data.
You'll also appreciate how customizable this software is. You can easily override any base class with your own logic for total customization. Map Suite Geocoder also comes with a highly-optimized dataset of the entire United States, allowing you to get started quickly, with future expansions coming soon.
Most impressively, Map Suite Geocoder comes with a 1-Year Software Assurance Plan, allowing you to enjoy hassle-free programming without the threat of surprises.
