Natural Area Coding System
Definition
- The Natural Area Coding System (NACS) is a global georeferencing system used to produce compact location codes requiring only 8 or 10 characters to specify a single address—a length similar to postal codes. As location-based services become more popular and the world becomes globalized, being able to efficiently, reliably, and universally specify locations is important.
