street geocoding for australia

[dennis_oz]

hi all,

Is it possible to calculate lats and lonitude based on the street address form australia.

I have gone through the SAS documentation and know it is possible through Post code. Butam looking for street maping. 

Thanks.

You'd likely need to get the detailed street level maps. Do you have access to those? Otherwise you can use the Google API and call it from SAS. If you search on here there was a somewhat recent example (this year).

SAS Data Quality contains tools for doing exactly that, including a knowledge base specific to Australian addresses. To get accurate geocoding you need to use the whole address, not just the postcode. You start by cleaning up and standardizing the addresses so geocoding is more accurate. SAS DQ has tools for that too.
