How to convert Address into Latitude, Longitude Co-ordinates to use in Map?

[#1]

Hi,

Is there a way to convert Customer Addresses (House No, Street Name, Post Code) into Latitude and Longitude Co-ordinates?

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. (There are close to 20,000 addresses).

Regards

Arun

Hi, Has anyone found an answer to this one?

There are multiple websites that allow you to upload Post Codes and the result will be a GPS Long and Lattitude for that post code.

This would be Post codes in the UK and Zip codes in the USA. But your key is the post code, the rest of the address not required for this.

If you cant find a website for this respond to this post and I will dig it up for you

Hi, Thanks Hamishi. Can you get me the website for this? So did you write a job to do this?

Here is the website link

http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=google

There is an option to upload a file of post codes and the return will be the GPS data.

Then you integrate with the standard Google Maps examples on this forum.....

You are not looking at the website !

There are a few options.

Option 1 is to upload a file, Option 2 is to copy and paste data....

Sorry to bother again. I do not have the latitude and longitude but want to get these. I see that here it takes a file and processes. How will it give an output? Its really confusing.

Hi Rajesh,

I am using this one - http://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlonbatch.html.

Check it out. I am looking for other sites which can handle batch processing.

Thanks very much for the link. Thats a good one. Finally based on my needs, i prefer to write .Net code to call the google api webservice.
