Geomessaging is a technology that allows a person or system to send a message based on any media to a device that enters or exits one or more regions. [1] Those regions can be created by using geofences, based on Latitude and Longitude, or adding beacons to the system associating those beacons with named locations.
Address geocoding, or simply geocoding, is the process of taking a text-based description of a location, such as an address or the name of a place, and returning geographic coordinates, frequently latitude/longitude pair, to identify a location on the Earth's surface. [1]
Geosocial networking is a type of social networking in which geographic services and capabilities such as geocoding and geotagging are used to enable additional social dynamics. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] User-submitted location data or geolocation techniques can allow social networks to connect and coordinate users with local people or events that match ...
The related term geocoding refers to the process of taking non-coordinate-based geographical identifiers, such as a street address, and finding associated geographic coordinates (or vice versa for reverse geocoding). Such techniques can be used together with geotagging to provide alternative search techniques. [citation needed]

Geocoding is a translation system allowing addresses to be converted to X- and Y-coordinates. Someone placing a call for service has an address attached to a wired phone number or tells the dispatcher their address. For example, suppose the caller's address is 123 Main Street. The GIS or CAD system includes a look-up table.
The current revision of the vCard specification [2] supports geo URIs in a vCard's "GEO" property, and the GeoSMS standard uses geo URIs for geotagging SMS messages. Android based devices support geo URIs, [3] although that implementation is based on a draft revision of the specification, and supports a different set of URI parameters and query ...
A geocode is a code that represents a geographic entity (location or object). It is a unique identifier of the entity, to distinguish it from others in a finite set of geographic entities. In general the geocode is a human-readable and short identifier. Typical geocodes and entities represented by it: Country code and subdivision code. Polygon ...
