Enable address validation with Google

The google-address-standardization advanced setting allows users to employ Google standardization of addresses.

Note: By default, this setting is disabled.

An address only geocodes when you enter:

• An address in the Address box.
• A ZIP code in the Zip box.

Once you enter this information, a dialog box appears with a standardized version of the address using Google, allowing the user to choose a standardized address.

Note: The message in the dialog box will note any changes, such as changing Road to Rd.
