- This improves the pinpoint accuracy of address searches within residential address areas and the precision of reverse geocoding.
- Frontage points are assigned to the side facing the building's entrance, so they can also be used as access points.
*The blocks are divided into 5-10 meter intervals (frontages) and numbered clockwise.
