How AddressValid captures complex address structures, landmarks, and informal directions.
Updated: July 20261 min read
Addressing Realities in Complex Markets
In rapidly growing urban centers, traditional formal street numbering is often incomplete or non-existent. Over 70% of deliveries rely on landmark-based navigation.
AddressValid treats landmarks as first-class physical entities rather than unstructured text notes.
Landmark & Directional Parsing
Our engine recognizes and extracts key directional components:
- Landmark Anchors: "Opposite Domino's Pizza", "Beside First Bank", "Behind Ikeja City Mall"
- Gate / Color References: "Blue Gate", "Black Gate", "Corner House"
- Estate Boundaries: "Chevron Cooperative Estate", "VGC", "Nicon Town"
- District Aliases: "V.I", "Lekki Phase 1", "Computer Village", "Bodija"
