The online solution eliminates the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining the hardware, software and data Quality data sources, such as NAVTEQ street data, are used.

PxPoint Online appends exact latitude and longitude coordinates to each record and corrects addresses to United States Postal Service (USPS) standards. PxPoint Online uses multiple data sets to improve geocoding accuracy.
