Automatic geocoding starts immediately after you upload the data file to the interface. But if the file has a lot of addresses without coordinates, you may need to click Find coordinates to start geocoding.

If the recipient's address indicates the apartment number, automatic geocoding determines the coordinates of the building entrance where the courier has to arrive. Entrance coordinate data isn't available for all addresses yet, but the database is constantly being updated.

To get more accurate results, enable the Search in the map's viewport option. It's useful if:

• The address is incomplete. For example, the city isn't specified.

• You need to set non-standard borders for address search.

• You need to split geocoding into several steps, changing the scope at different iterations.

How to break down geocoding into steps

1. Stop geocoding by clicking Stop.
2. Enable the Search in the map's viewport option.
3. Move the map's viewport to the necessary position.
4. Set the scale.
5. Click Search by address again.

When geocoding is completed, the following address groups appear to the left of the map: With coordinates, Without coordinates, and Approximation. There can be one or more groups.

Addresses are divided into groups depending on how correct the source data is in the uploaded file. All found addresses are marked on the map using color labels.

Placemark color	Group	Property	Example
	With coordinates	The address is entered in the correct format and without errors.	Moscow, Pyatnitskoe highway, 23k2
	Approximation	The address is entered in an incorrect format.	26Bc2, Moscow, Bolshaya, Pochtovaya street
		The address is entered with errors or contains information that isn't related to the address.	Moscow region, Bhgrrkha, Tereshkova street, 13
		The address doesn't specify the city (different cities may have the same street names).	Okruzhnaya street, 8
		The address in text format (the address field) and coordinates (the point.lat and point.lon fields) don't match.	22.0 and 33.1, Moscow, Vysokovoltny passage, 1s36
		The building was not found (but the system found a building with a number that's close to the necessary one or only the street).	Moscow, Bolshaya, Pochtovaya street, 5559 and Moscow, Bolshaya, Pochtovaya Street, 55/59
	Without coordinates	The address field isn't filled in.	Empty
		The street wasn't found, and only the coordinates of the city center are returned.	Moscow, Ulichnaya street, 8

You need to manually check whether the addresses in the Approximation group have the correct coordinates.

You may also need to check the addresses in the With coordinates group. For example, there may be a typo in the coordinates box. In that case, the order location will be thousands of kilometers from the main group of orders. To find such an error, you need to zoom out on the map a lot.

The default search area covers ±1 degree from the depot coordinates.

The geocoder may determine the order coordinates incorrectly if the address is set inaccurately (for example, without specifying the city), and there is the same street and building number in a neighboring locality. To avoid this, choose the scale and location on the map to display the desired point.

The map parameters are stored locally for the company and used for the next planning. To make geocoding more accurate, enable the Search in the map's viewport option.

To assign coordinates to a point manually:

1. Click the address in the list next to the map.
2. A window and (for the Approximation and With coordinates groups) a pin that marks the order address appear on the map. There are two ways to edit the address:

   • Dialog window. In the dialog window that appears, start entering or editing the address, then select the appropriate option in the drop-down list.

   • Pin. Click the pin and drag it to the correct location on the map. The address in the window changes. Switch layers, if you need to get a better view of the area.

     
3. The pin and address in the list are marked green.
4. Click Continue to go to the next address in your list.

To save the geocoding result to a file, click Export geocoded addresses to Excel. In the downloaded file, every order address has the exact coordinates based on the results of automatic and manual geocoding. You can use them for further planning.

If any orders are left without coordinates as a result of planning, you can save them and exclude them from planning. To do this, click  → Download orders without coordinates and remove them from planning.
