Azure Maps’ geocoding services allow you to look up and convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa. It can also search for the geographic outline of an area, such as a city or country region. These location services can be used for various geolocation technologies and combined with other Azure mapping services.
Geolocation
Azure Maps API lets you resolve the IP addresses from a range of mobile and fixed internet traffic sources to determine the ISO country code of that IP traffic. This enables the easy localization of services and content for your applications.
