The N3SCT method matches the location based on the latitude and longitude geographic coordinates with an optional elevation. Specify the elevation value with its unit after the geographic coordinates. The supported units are feet (ft), kilometer (km), and meter (m). Negative elevation represents depths below the sea level.

Use the following options for the N3SCT method:

radius

Indicates the search radius based on the latitude and longitude coordinates that you specify. The default value is 1000 m, and the default unit is meter.

Use the following guidelines when you specify the radius:

SSA-NAME3 considers the radius to be in meter even if you specify any other unit.
SSA-NAME3 ignores the decimal values and uses the whole number as the radius. For example, if you specify the radius as 850.8, SSA-NAME3 considers the radius as 850.

format

Indicates the order of the latitude and longitude coordinates that you specify.

If

format=1

, SSA-NAME3 considers the geographic coordinates in the longitude and latitude order.

If

format=0

, SSA-NAME3 considers the geographic coordinates in the latitude and longitude order.

The default value is 0.

For example:

NAMESET function:

*OPTIONS=A:radius=1000000,A:format=1 FIELDS=00000000050000*

The

OPTIONS=

keyword uses the following format:

OPTIONS=<Method Letter>:<Option1>,<Method Letter>:<Option2>

, where

Method Letter

indicates the method in the scheme for which you provide options. You can use alphabets from A to Z. In this example, the geocode method is the first method in the scheme.
