Batch-Geocoding

Learn about batch geocoding.

The following records are updated:

  • A configuration entry Geolocation Handler (MC) is defined for the record's info area.
  • Mandatory address fields (Country, City, Street and ZipCode (default) or custom fields as defined by the Field Mapping configuration entry) are not empty.
  • Records with Precision != "failed".
  • The coordinates fields (Longitude and Latitude) are empty.

By default, when the configuration options are not defined, the following limits are enforced:

  • 200,000 records per batch
  • five batches per day
  • 10,000,000 records per year

The maximum size of a batch is 300 MB (uncompressed request).

The limits can be configured using the following configuration options (MC, Geo-Coordinates category):

  • Maximum number of addresses per batch request: Records per batch.
  • Maximum number of batch requests per day: Batches per day.
  • Maximum number of addresses in batch requests per year: Records per year.

    Enter the desired values in the Numeric field. These settings are applied globally.

Note: For Bing maps license keys supplied by Aurea Software Inc., refer to Aurea Bing Maps Usage Limits.

The information on the remaining number of records to be geo-encoded in the current year is saved in T3 (Process "(10,000) TrackingProcessTypes.BatchGeocodingRemainingLimit") and displayed on Aurea CRM web's System Information page (Remaining number of geocodes for the current year).

Note: The year always starts at January 1st. The counter (on the System Information page) is reset when batch-geocoding is executed for the first time in a year. Therefore, limit changes are only applied at this time.
