PostGrid Address Validation API Vs Google Maps Address Lookup API

If you're looking to geocode an address and display it on a map, you may want to consider using the Google Maps Address Lookup API. It can provide a fast and accurate way to return the lat-long coordinates of an address.

However, the one thing that's lacking in this API is the ability to find out a secondary address unit for an address. This can be very important when delivering goods to large buildings that have hundreds of internal units.

You can search for addresses by either entering an address into the search field or by clicking a pin on the map. The map will then provide a list of results that match the search criteria.

The address will also be displayed in the browser with coordinates on a map and directions to the location. This feature is useful for displaying address data in the Google Maps app on your website or iOS or Android app.

This address search is region-dependent and can take a few days to fully populate. This is due to the fact that Google needs to go through all the owners and request for their lat-long coordinates.

Unlike the Google address search, PostGrade's address validation API can be used to validate addresses in bulk quantities at a much lower cost. It also comes with a 24x7 support team, as well as a wide range of features.

It helps you improve address accuracy and deliverability by catching misspelled street names, typos, and other common errors. It can also help you identify address components that are missing or misformatted, so that they can be corrected and formatted to local standards. It can also help you avoid chargebacks or delivery failures that occur when a customer's addresses are not correct or formatted to local standards.
