Can SeekData geocode my Puerto Rican address data when some addresses contain KM and HM markers?

Yes. Commonly about 20% of a Puerto Rican address file will consist of records containing carreteras, kilometers (KM) and hectometer (HM) markers. Many of the rural type addresses are defined by a carretera designation accompanied by kilometer (KM) and hectometer (HM) markers. SeekData has produced a specialized data set that has cross-referenced all carreteras with KMs and HMs. Directionally, KMs are posted going both ways, so other designations are used to determine which direction determines the actual geographic reference assigned.
