The Precision field indicates the relative accuracy of the coordinates. We resolve latitude data out to 5 decimals (which equates to approximately 3ft² at the equator).

This is the east/west component used for geographic positioning. Combining latitude and longitude enables you to determine the position of an address on a map. A negative number denotes a location west of Greenwich, England. A positive number denotes a location east of Greenwich, England.

The Precision field indicates the relative accuracy of the coordinates. We resolve latitude data out to 5 decimals (which equates to approximately 3ft² at the equator).

A note would be left in the receptacle indicating this. After a certain amount of time being held at the post office, the mail would be handled as undeliverable and the address marked as “vacant”.)

Contains the five-digit ZIP code (if processed successfully) returned for the submitted address.
