Geocoding

The intrinsic AIMMS function GeoFindCoordinates is able to find the latitude/longitude coordinates for a given address. The procedure uses the free OpenStreetMap (OSM) geocoding service. You are advised to carefully read the OSM geocoder usage policy before using this procedure in your application.

The function returns 0 when the address cannot be found. Examples of valid function calls are

GeoFindCoordinates( “NL”, Latitude, Longitude, “me@company.com” );

GeoFindCoordinates( “Haarlem, NL”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “2034 Haarlem, NL”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “Schipholweg, Haarlem, NL”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “1 Schipholweg, Haarlem, NL”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “1 Schipholweg, 2034 Haarlem, NL”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “US”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “Kirkland, WA, US”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “Lake Washington Boulevard NE, Kirkland, US”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “5400 Carillon Point, Lake Washington Boulevard NE, Kirkland, US”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “Singapore”, Latitude, Longitude );

GeoFindCoordinates( “Chulia Street, Singapore”, Latitude, Longitude );

assumed that Latitude and Longitude are declared as numerical parameters in your model.
