Reverse geocoding
New Zealand only feature
Instantly turn GPS coordinates into accurate New Zealand addresses with reverse geocoding - saving time, reducing errors, and powering smarter location decisions.
What is reverse geocoding?
Reverse address geocoding uses GPS coordinates to find nearby verified addresses
Instead of typing an address in, users can share a device's location and Addressfinder displays nearby addresses for the user to choose from. On selection the address is automatically filled into your website, form, or CRM.
Reverse geocode search makes it faster and easier to capture accurate address data, even when the exact address isn’t known or easily entered.
