Understanding Maps in OneMobility

The OneMobility map provides a geographical representation of a service area.

There are many types of data displayed on the map that can help transit agency staff when performing their tasks, data such as, streets and barriers, bus stops, routes, trips, and walking distances.

Where can you find maps in OneMobility

Maps are used for different purposes depending on the OneMobility page that it is displayed on. For example, a map in the Bookings page is utilized to show a visual representation of the pick-up and drop-off point. The following are where you can find maps in OneMobility:

Geocoding

OneMobility uses geocoding to assign longitude and latitude to an address on the map. You perform geocoding by searching for an address in a booking and submitting it as a geocoded address.

Geocoding is only required if addresses or locations are not found when searching in the Pick Up Address and Drop Off Address fields. If an address appears as a search result, that means it has already been geocoded automatically, otherwise, refer to Geocoding Addresses for how to manually geocode an address.

Address Matching

Address matching is an important part in locating and verifying addresses on the map. It works by matching a user input address with map data (Google, LOC, and T4). It is also used with geocoding when coordinates require an address.

You can address match when creating or editing a booking. This is useful for verifying the pick-up and drop-off addresses of a client.

The Address Matcher page can be accessed by clicking the Address Matcher button above the address fields in a booking.
