GeoCoder Object Build History

Below is a list of changes and additions to GeoCoder Object.

Build 1115 Released 3/15/07

The Census Block property has reverted back to returning a 4 character string. It was originally reduced down to a 1 character string due to imprecise data, but better and more accurate data has been received to return back to a 4 character string.
 

Build 1049 Released 7/15/06

Two new properties are now available with Geocoder Object.

PlaceName property (60 chars):
    The official census name for the area described
    by the ZIP+4 Code. This may differ for the city  
    name in the ZIP Code database.

PlaceCode property (7 chars):
    The corresponding code for the place name.


Build 151 Released 1/15/06

Linux and Solaris objects now available.

The Census Block property now returns a 1 character string instead of a 4 character string. This was done to eliminate imprecisions and overlaps that occurred in the data. Now, only the block group is returned for more accurate results.
