Service Description: This locator enables you to geocode various types of places around the world. The locator references a geodatabase of over six million places around the world that includes countries, states and provinces, administrative areas (e.g. counties), cities, landmarks, water bodies, and more. The geodatabase is built primarily using the GeoNames Data that is accessible via Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License through www.geonames.org. ESRI has assembled selected records from the GeoNames Data and appended additional attributes (e.g. description, rank, bounding coordinates, etc.) for use in this locator. You may contribute to the future content of this locator by submitting or editing place names through GeoNames. The locator accepts a single-line place name input (e.g. Paris or Paris, France or Washington, DC) and returns candidates sorted by match score and rank. This locator can be used to geocode single places or batch geocode up to 10 places per request. This locator is available at no cost for your personal or business use.
