Locatable Address Conversion System (LACS) is a service offered by the United States Postal Service to update mailing addresses when a street is renamed or the address is updated for 911. In the case of 911, the address is changed from a rural route format to an urban/city route format.
The street directory issued in connection with the system allocated a postal district name and number to all streets in the metropolitan area. [3] The table below shows the district numbers used, the date being 1928 if a post office was open then or earlier. [4] An asterisk identifies a name as a postal district.
Ghana uses a digital address system. A digital address is made up of two main components: a postcode (e.g. EN-200) and a unique address (e.g. 1987). The first letter in the postcode represents a region (E for Eastern Region in this case), the second letter/digit (N) represents the district (N for New Juaben).

Each street segment is attributed with address ranges (e.g. house numbers from one segment to the next).

Geocoding then interpolates the position of the address, within the range along the segment.
