What is Birdseye Geocoding?
In current mapping applications, digital line files such as streets, cities, towns and ZIP Codes are used to locate a property. While these results are relatively accurate, they are not exact. Birdseye Geocoding uses a combination of digital street files and aerial images to provide the most accurate geocode possible. By letting the user see the aerial image of the immediate area, the user can get a “Birdseye View” of the area, and come up with the exact latitude and longitude of the subject property simply by clicking with the mouse! But Birdseye Geocoding is more than simply showing the user an aerial map. The aerial map is shown at the same size and scale as the digital map. By clicking on the aerial map, the exact location of an address can be pinpointed by the user and fed back to the application for more accurate spatial analysis. How does it work? Birdseye Geocoding is a two step process. First, the address is entered, and the location is displayed on a street-level digital map
