The sample code is giving strange errors or keeps crashing!
Most likely, the sample code cannot connect to Service Objects. Many environments do not allow outbound connections on port 80, or may clip XML in requests/responses.
To check connectivity, open a browser on the same machine running the sample code and navigate to
https://trial.serviceobjects.com/gcc/.
Try one of the operations with your trial key. If you see a browser error or no data returns, the sample code won’t be able to connect either.
If connectivity fails, contact your systems administrator to resolve outbound access to Service Objects.
DOTS Address Geocode – CA says that it cannot find my address!
DOTS Address Geocode – CA doesn’t know about every address—especially empty lots or new streets—so it may not be able to find exact coordinates. It often can still match a postal code.
If an exact street match isn’t available, try the GetPostalCodeInfo operation to see the closest match.
We are continually improving our data. If your location cannot be found today, it may become available as our databases are updated.
