Non-Geocodable Addresses – Guide To Working With Non-Geocodable Locations

With the Route4Me Route Planner, you can use all types of non-established addresses or non-geocodable locations for efficient and cost-effective route planning. Route4Me’s Interactive Map Editor enables you to plan routes by picking locations right from the map and using them as destinations. Route4Me’s Address Book Map allows you to save addresses and locations from the interactive map into the synchronized Address Book, and then use these locations for planning optimized routes. When you have already planned a route, you can use Route4Me’s Route Editor for inserting locations right from the map into the opened route. For more convenience, you and your team members can also use Route4Me’s Android and iOS Route Planner apps for saving all types of locations from the interactive map into the synchronized Address Book and then use those locations for planning routes.

Interactive Map Editor

Planning Routes By Picking Non-Geocodable Locations From The Map

Route4Me’s Interactive Map Editor enables you to use the interactive map with advanced geocoding algorithms for picking addresses and locations right from the map and adding them to your routes as destinations. To plan a new route using the Interactive Map Editor, first, go to “Plan New Route” from the navigation menu.

Next, select “Interactive Map Editor” from the corresponding window.

After that, specify the preferred route parameters and then click on the corresponding button to proceed.

When adding addresses manually, input full or partial address information into the corresponding field and then select one of the suggested variants from the list. When you input incorrect or insufficient address information, the editor automatically processes it and outputs full, accurate, and already geocoded address/location.

Alternatively, you can add addresses or locations to the route by picking them right from the interactive map. To pick a street address from the map, right click on the location/area of the corresponding address and then select the “Add The Nearest Valid Address” option.

When you use the “Add The Nearest Valid Address” option, the editor automatically picks the nearest valid street address that is located next to the selected point on the map, geocodes it, and then adds the corresponding address to the route.

To add latitude and longitude coordinates of a particular location to the route as a stop, right-click on the corresponding location on the map and then select “Add This Exact Location” from the menu.

When you use the “Add This Exact Location” option, the Interactive Map Editor automatically picks the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of the selected location and adds them to the route as a stop.

Before you finish planning the route, make sure that all addresses are properly geocoded. Green-colored dots indicate that the corresponding addresses were successfully geocoded with “High Confidence.” Addresses that have yellow or red-colored dots next to them should be reviewed and fixed accordingly.

Once the route is planned, it is optimized and then opened in the Route Editor where you can modify it, as well as added to the Routes List with all your routes.
