NowI found two alternative to get address using postal code, =436914&sensor=true link gives the latitude and longitude recall the same url but now instead of address parameter pass latlong parameter, and its value in two process you will get exact address.

For Postal Code, I find that the data from onemap.sg is pretty accurate. However for some postal code, there will be more than one result. This is because there might be multiple listing of the same postal code within the same building. Nevertheless, it is still accurate.


But after a while, I recognised that it won't show the right place any more. The reason could be there are several places on the world have the same postal code. So it just show an area (like US) or a different place from what I expected. So if I want to be precise, I need to click another result on the page to choose my region.My question is, is there any way I could automatically narrow the search for a specific country, say Singapore ? If you search for postal code like : 272012 , it will have 2 results at Singapore and Shandong - China. but the link on the address bar is the same:


From the previous blog/video you have seen the ability to combine multiple data sets together to find my dream HDB home based on flat type, avg resale price, distance to the nearest MRT station and within 1km of a Primary School.


As I only need Primary School so I will add in a filter where mainlevel_code='PRIMARY'. I have created another column to combine address, postal code and 'Singapore' to be used later to lookup latitude longitude coordinate. RowNo is also added to create a unique identifier for the Primary School.


Next I will use the GeoOperation AddressPointLookup to geocode the lookup column to the respective latitude longitude coordinate as return as PrimarySchoolPoint. (For more information on the operation AddressPointLookup do refer to -US/geoanalytics/Subsystems/GeoOperationsService/Content/connector/connector...)


Next for Singapore Citizen to register for a Primary School in Singapore, distance to the Primary School is taken into consideration. I will need to find out the 1km circle of all the Primary School if I want to have priority during school admission.


Next I will use the GeoOperation TravelArea to calculate the 1km circle by using the transportation="bird" option. This will draw a 1km circle regardless of the roads. If I need to calculate the distance by car I can change the transportation="car". (For more information on the operation TravelArea do refer to -US/geoanalytics/Subsystems/GeoOperationsService/Content/connector/connector...)


I can then use GeoOperation Within to determine which HDB unit falls within the 1km circle of the Primary School. However, since the ScriptEval cannot take in 2 intable, I will need to store one of them into online storage and be referenced using the URL method. (For more information on the operation Closest and the use of URL do refer to -use-CLOSEST-with-two-loaded-tables/td-p/172...)


Avoid changing the default order of address fields

Do ensure that the postal code field is on top as the address lookup can simplify the process of filling out the address field


I'm trying to add a Florida delivery address to my account over the last few weeks and each time I get an error message that the zip code is incorrect. I know it's correct as I've had items delivered there with out any problems.


I'm actually trying to add my USA address from USAbox, a mail forwarding service as I'm finding a large number of US sellers won't ship to the UK. There's a couple of items I'm currently watching, where you can't even message the seller, even when the listing says to do so. There are some I can message and give them my FL address ,which aren't a problem.


Since you are registered in the UK, your primary address has to be in the UK, but you should be able to enter a USA shipping address for the Ship To address entry. Is that where you are trying to add it or somewhere else?


Yes, that's what I'm trying to do, add a US shipping address to my account for buying from the US. I've already used it successfully for non ebay purchases so I know it's valid, and yes I'm trying to add it to the Ship to Address entry. Everything is accepted with out error apart from the zip code.


If you matched the USPS official address exactly, and still a problem, something else may be an issue with your account. Suggest you contact ebay here with a private message where the reps can better help you.


I also advised them that it wasn't clear that the alpha characters weren't required and they're going to pass this feedback to the Site Design team to see if a notification can be put on to say only the zip code digits are required.


Map data and other geolocation information, including exact locations, can vary across data providers. As a best practice, use the same data provider for your place index, map, and other Amazon Location resources. For example, if the places returned by your place index do not match the location of the same places provided by your map resource, you can place a marker in what appears to be the wrong location on the map.


You can then integrate monitoring using services such as Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail. For more information see, Monitoring Amazon Location Service with Amazon CloudWatch and Logging and monitoring with AWS CloudTrail.


Amazon Location Service also provides a reverse geocoding action called SearchPlaceIndexForPosition. This takes a geographic location and returns the address, business, or other information about what is at that location.


When you make a successful search request in Amazon Location Service, one or more results are returned. Each result includes a label, which is the name or description of the result. For example, a search for coffee shop, might return a result with the label Hometown Cafe, telling you that a coffee shop called "Hometown Cafe" was found. The search result will also typically include a structured address (with properties such as the address number, unit, street, and postal code). Depending on the data provider, it will include other meta data, as well, such as the country and time zone.


For a search on a business name or category (such as coffee shop), you might want to show all returned results on a map. For an address search, you might want to just use the first result automatically. See the next topic for information about relevance.


When searching by text, Amazon Location Service will often find more than a single result. For example, a search for Paris may return the city in France, but also the city in Texas. The results are sorted by the relevance, as determined by the data provider.


Results are returned in relevance order from all providers. If you choose Esri or Grab as your data provider, the results include a relevance value that you can use to understand the relative relevance between the results of a single request.


Specifying additional information, such as a country name, or a location to search around, can change the order of results, reduce the number of results, or even change the set of results returned. For example, a search for Paris with a location in Texas to search around is more likely to return Paris, Texas as the first result than Paris, France.


In an interactive application, you can use relevance to help decide whether to accept the top result, or to ask a user to disambiguate between multiple returned results. If the first result has a high relevance, you might just accept it as the correct answer. If there are multiple high relevance results, or no high relevance results, you might want to list the results and let the user select the best result.


You can search for addresses with Amazon Location Service using the same SearchPlaceIndexForText action. The more information that you provide, the more likely the address returned will match the one given. For example, 123 Main St is less likely to find a correct result than 123 Main St, Anytown, California, 90210.


Addresses have multiple attributes, such as the street number, street, city, region, and postal code, etc. Those attributes are used to find an address in the place index that matches as many aspects as possible. The more attributes found, the more relevant the match is considered, and the more likely it will be returned.


The relevance for address results is based on how closely the result matches the input. This could be the number of the attributes that matched, but also how closely the results match the input. For example, an input of 123 Main St would have a higher relevance when Main St is found in the data, than if Maine St is the only result. Maine St will still be returned, but likely with a lower relevance value.


The search results include a label for the full address (123 Main St, Anytown, California, 90210), but also the individual structured attributes of the returned address. This is helpful, because you can use that, for example, to populate address fields in a database, or to examine the results and find the city, region, or postal code of the found location.


The data provider creates the geolocation data with those two known addresses. You can search for those two addresses, and they are found. After the data provider creates the map data, let's suppose that a new house is added, between the first two addresses. This new house is given the address 230. If you search for 230 S 9th St, the data provider will still find a result. Instead of using a known address, it will interpolate between the already known addresses, and estimate the position of the new address from those. In this case, it might assume that 230 is halfway between 220 and 240 (and on the same side of the street), and return an approximate location based on that.


Data providers periodically update their geolocation data with new addresses. In this case, 230 S 9th St would get added to the data provider data, but there will typically be a period when a new address has been created but is not yet added to the data.
