Address points are a very important component of GIS.
Address points occur in two contexts:
- a point layer to be displayed on a map. The system allows address points to be displayed as a general layer.
- as reference data for Geocoders, i.e. software for finding locations based on addresses. The system is not a Geocoder.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add address points from my municipality as a layer in the System?
Yes. Address points can be downloaded in shapefile or GML format from Geoportal.gov.pl. They are part of the State Register of Borders. Here is a description of how to download address points from Geoportal.
