TerraCode

The TerraCode suite of products translate addresses into geographic locations and vice versa, and are used to check the validity of an address. The TerraCode product uses the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF). The G_NAF data set is unique in that it represents the only governmentally approved national address file that also includes a geocode or geographic location for each address. This data set can be used in many different applications that may or may not require the included geospatial information. G_NAF was also established as a geocoded file which means that each address has an assigned geographic coordinate or location (latitude & longitude). This is often used to undertake geospatial analysis of, for example, customer buying behaviour etc where the location of customers, correlated with customer behaviour, becomes relevant. Geocoding or adding a geographic location to each address in a customer contact database is a process that can be undertaken with a G_NAF geocoding service.
