Geography
Addresses, places and coordinates.
Page actions
ROOTE Geography works with addresses, places, and coordinates. Each capability answers a different kind of question.
Choose the correct capability
| Capability | Input | Output | Typical intent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geocode | Postal address or geographic expression | Normalized geographic information and coordinates | “Where exactly is this address?” |
| Place Search | Place, establishment, business, or POI request | Matching places | “Find places matching this request.” |
| Reverse Geocode | Coordinates | Readable place or address | “What is at these coordinates?” |
Keep address resolution and place discovery distinct
10 rue de Rivoli, Paris is an address-resolution request for Geocode. Gare Lyon Part-Dieu, Starbucks près de République, and pharmacie à Lyon are place-discovery requests for Place Search.
Autocomplete may be related to these concepts, but it is not currently documented as a public ROOTE capability.
