Route and street number for Canada places API Google Maps refers to the specific numerical and alphanumerical identifiers assigned to roads, highways, streets, and other public thoroughfares within Canada. For instance, “1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043” represents both the street address and route number of Google’s headquarters.
Assigning route and street numbers facilitates efficient navigation, postal services, emergency response, and data management for GIS (geographic information systems). The concept originated in the mid-18th century with the establishment of postal routes, and Google Maps’ API leverages this system to provide precise location data.
