How does the TomTom Premium Geocoding API work?
It allows unstructured and semi-structured address queries. The API will return the premium geocoding content if it exists for the address. If there is no premium geocoding content mapped for the address query, or if the query relates to an address outside of the United States, or a non-address place name (such as a city center or administrative area), then the regular geocoding content will be returned.

Businesses can expect increased delivery success rates and faster time-to-deliver, along with reduced driving miles and walking distances, altogether increasing customer and driver satisfaction.
