Exact address by search
What this tool does
This tool finds the exact location of an address using a partial search. It takes a basic address text, like 'Compte Mallorca, 120, Barcelona', and returns a complete, standardized address along with specific details like the street name, building number, city, postal code, and neighborhood. It also provides the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for the location.
Results are only available if the platform can match your input to a known place in its map database. If the address cannot be found or the service fails, the tool returns empty fields for all details. The coordinates provided are based on the location of the building or entrance point where the address is located.
