1.1. POI/Business
As in most Western European countries, a significant number of businesses keep an active online presence. Official websites and claimed social media pages should be considered as the most trustable sources to determine whether a business is in operation or not.
All addresses of POIs must follow the standard address format introduced in the above section
Result | Official Business Website | Rating & Explanation |
Hotel París Avinguda de Joan Martí, 2 AD200 Encamp Andorra | Hotel París Avinguda de Joan Martí, 2 AD200 Encamp Andorra | Correct: The official business site returns a perfect match. This result returns an address that follows the standard postal format. |

General 5 Km 2 Arinsal, La Massana AD400 Principat d’Andorra | Correct: The official business site returns the locality (Arinsal) and the parish (La Massana); however, the parish is not a mandatory component when the locality is present as per the above-required component table. |
1.2. Building with s/n in the Address
Some addresses might contain no numbering information at all. The address component “s/n” (“Sin número”, Unnumbered) might be used. s/n should be treated as the street number:

Result | Official Address | Rating & Explanation | |||
Aparthotel Els Meners Carretera General 2, s/n AD100 Canillo Andorra | Aparthotel Els Meners Carretera General 2, s/n AD100 Canillo Andorra | Correct: s/n is present in the result, matching the official address. | |||
Aparthotel Els Meners Carretera General 2 AD100 Canillo Andorra | Aparthotel Els Meners Carretera General 2, s/n AD100 Canillo Andorra | Incorrect: Street Number: s/n (equivalent to street number) is missing. |
1.3. Addresses at Milestones
Some buildings are located at milestones (kilometer stones) on a road and do not have street numbers. The milestones are the equivalent of a street number.
If the milestone is missing or is wrong, mark as Incorrect – Street Number. Use this option also if the word “km” is missing since it would imply the number present in the address is a regular street number and not a milestone. Also note that km (kilometer) is a symbol and not an abbreviation so it does not accept plural or endpoint forms. If the kilometer symbol carries an endpoint, the
Carretera General 5, km 2 AD499 Arinsal Andorra | Street Type Street Name, Kilometer Stone Postal Code Locality Country | This address is located at the kilometer stone 2 on CG-5) |
rating should be Correct with formatting issues.
