The most common (and oldest) example is matching street addresses to street line data. First the geocoder parses the street address into its component parts (street name, number, directional prefix/suffix). The geocoder matches these components to a corresponding street segment with a number range that includes the input value.
A geocode is a code that represents a geographic entity (location or object). It is a unique identifier of the entity, to distinguish it from others in a finite set of geographic entities. In general the geocode is a human-readable and short identifier. Typical geocodes and entities represented by it: Country code and subdivision code. Polygon ...
The Open Location Code (OLC) is a geocode based on a system of regular grids for identifying an area anywhere on the Earth. [1] It was developed at Google's Zürich engineering office, [2] and released late October 2014. [3] Location codes created by the OLC system are referred to as "plus codes".

The syntax and semantic of the CRS parameter, separated by a semicolon, is described at section 8.3 of RFC 5870. Examples: The Washington Monument's location expressed with UTM-zone 18N and its standard ID: geo:323482,4306480;crs=EPSG:32618;u=20; A geo URI for a hypothetical lunar CRS created in 2011 might be:
The information can be entered by directly giving the coordinates or by selecting a location from a map using software tools. Some tools allow entry of tags such as city, postal code or a street address. Geocoding and reverse geocoding can be used to convert between locations and addresses.
ISO 6709, Standard representation of geographic point location by coordinates, is the international standard for representation of latitude, longitude and altitude for geographic point locations.
A WKT format is defined to describe the operation methods and parameters used to convert or transform coordinates between two different coordinate reference systems. The WKT 1 and WKT 2 formats are incompatible regarding coordinate operations, because of differences in the modelling . [ 13 ]
