The geocoder covers several French overseas territories The geocoder recognizes the unique French territorial SO codes and you can use these codes with input addresses The territories use the French 5 digit postal code system but each territorial postal code starts with 3 unique digits The accompanying table summarizes the ISO codes data vintages and unique postal codes of the covered French territories Table 5 French Overseas Territories Territory Name ISO 3116 1 Alpha 2 ISO 3116 1 Alpha 3 First 3 Digits of Postal Code Guadeloupe Martinique French Guiana R union Mayotte You can also use the country code for France FRA or FR In that case you can get candidates from France Monaco and the territories if that city town name occurs in both France and in one or more Spectrum Technology Platform 9 0 Chapter 1 Geocode Address Global of the territories However if you explicitly specify MCO or a territorial country code you will get candidates from the specified country only and not from France e Placename Support for User Dictionaries If your user dictionary includes placenames you can geocode these placenames and that information is returned with candidates e Additional Fields for Address Range and User Dictionaries Additional fields can be created and returned for both Address Range and Point user dictionaries These additional fields can contain any special information associated with an address You can2. geocoder handles this input format and geocodes correctly Arrondissements the last two digits of the postcode can be entered and the complete locality and postcode information is returned For the following input address a close match candidate is returned with a result code of SSHPNTSCZA AddressLine1 7 Rue Beranger PostalCode 75003 City Paris The returned Locality field includes the arrondissement district information The Paris region includes 20 arrondissements which are represented by the last two digit of the postcode the first three digits are 750 A Paris address may be written with the last two digits only For the following input address a close match candidate is returned with a result code of SSHPNTSC A AddressLine1 51 Rue Lafitte PostalCode 09 City Paris The complete postcode 75009 is returned even though 09 representing the ninth arrondissement was entered e Military addresses Military addresses including typical military address abbreviations are handled The first two digits usually represent the department The digits 00 represent military addresses e Monaco addresses The geocoder handles Monaco addresses You can specify Monaco or the MCO or MC country codes in the StateProvince input field If you input a Monaco address as France the geocoder attempts to identify this and returns the Monaco candidate if possible All Monaco postcodes begin with the number 98 Overseas Territories addresses
