Australia/New Zealand Geocoder
The Australia/New Zealand Geocoder tool produces a record-for-record geocode result for Australia/New Zealand addresses including formatted address fields from TomTom, the level of geography that determined the match, lat/long coordinates, and a spatial object. In addition, it produces a summary output that provides a count of records per geolevel accompanied by detailed geolevel descriptions.
Use the Australia/New Zealand tool to assign address data to a spatial object so that you can pinpoint locations, display them on a map, and carry out geography-based analyses.
