Easily convert addresses to latitude/longitude

A solution pattern for turning address lists into mappable coordinates

Use this pattern when you have addresses for stores or facilities, but need latitude and longitude before you can map or analyze them.

Solution

Convert addresses into coordinate columns first, then move on to visualization or spatial analysis. Batch geocoding is much more reliable and efficient than checking each point manually.

Tool

Good fit for

  • Mapping store or facility locations
  • Running spatial analysis on address-based data
  • Avoiding manual coordinate lookup
