TECHNICAL FIELD

This technology relates generally to the location identification field, and more specifically to a new and useful method and system for geocoding.

BACKGROUND

Businesses oftentimes require accurate, up-to-date geocoding, such as for delivery applications, navigation applications, map placement, property intelligence, and map marker placement. Conventional geocoding systems fail to offer this quality of geocoding and fall into two general buckets: geocoding systems that rely on ground-truth data collected by harvesting GPS-accurate locations of primary buildings, and geocoding systems that infer the address-geolocation association by estimation or interpolation. The former systems are expensive and difficult to scale, due to the amount of labor required to collect the data; and are easily outdated due to continual physical building changes (e.g., new construction, demolitions, subdivisions, etc.). The latter systems tend to be inaccurate, and do not reliably associate an address with the correct building, particularly when multiple buildings are on the parcel.

Thus, there is a need in the geocoding field to create a new and useful system and method for geocoding. This technology provides such new and useful system and method.
