Leading Enhancements to the World Geocoding Service

Esri, a global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, announced expanded capabilities for its World Geocoding Service, empowering users with improved address lookup, refined matching logic, and broader global coverage. The update adds geocoding support for dozens of additional countries, enabling GIS professionals to convert addresses to map coordinates more accurately and efficiently in new regions around the world.

Expanded Country Support and Improved Accuracy

The enhanced World Geocoding Service now includes access to street-level address matching in 25 additional countries, such as Cuba, Bangladesh, and Libya, delivering more comprehensive geospatial coverage for global mapping projects. Esri’s refined address matching uses the latest authoritative datasets to recognize a wider variety of address formats and features, improving both forward and reverse geocoding results.

Advanced Intersection and Reverse Geocoding Features

A key improvement in this release is the service’s ability to better interpret complex intersection scenarios—such as overpasses, roundabouts, and non-physical road junctions—by visualizing and matching them more effectively in spatial queries. Users also benefit from enhanced reverse geocoding, enabling coordinates to be translated into meaningful location information, including postal regions, administrative boundaries, and points of interest.

Support for GIS Workflows and Enterprise Applications

These upgrades to the World Geocoding Service support a wide range of GIS workflows, from interactive location lookup to batch geocoding large datasets. Organizations across industries—public safety, logistics, urban planning, and environmental management—can leverage the refined service to improve the precision of spatial analysis and decision-making processes. With expanded global reach and advanced matching logic, Esri’s World Geocoding Service remains a foundational component of the ArcGIS platform.
