Description

The NAD is a comprehensive spatial database of physical street addresses in South Africa. The AfriGIS National Address Database (NAD) not only contains the coordinates (longitude/latitude) for the individual properties, but also the correct hierarchy string for the street address. The Street Number is linked to the Street Name, which is linked to the Suburb, to the City/Town, and to the Province. The coordinates are given as the centroid of the individual properties.

Key Features:

  • Each street address has a unique numeric AfriGIS NAD ID.
  • AfriGIS NAD ID remains unique despite street name changes.
  • Audit trails of all updates to the AfriGIS NAD.
  • Metadata is available for each street address.
  • Not found address verification service (Cambio process) available.
  • Street addresses are linked to deeds and cadastral (land parcels) information.
  • The AfriGIS suburb and town, proclaimed town, municipality and province names are included for each street address.
  • Daily updates to the AfriGIS NAD.
  • New street addresses are regularly sourced from local authorities.
