I would like to convert addresses/zip codes to GPS coordinates. Is this possible? Basically, we are going to put a map on our site of everywhere our customers have ordered from. We get about 100 orders a day, so it is not feasible to look up each set of coordinates. I need some sort of a database that has all of these (but I don't want to pay a fortune...). Ideally, I would be able to convert an actual address to a coordinate. Alternatively, it would be ok if I could convert zip codes to a coordinate. Please let me know if you have any questions. As I said, I prefer a database, but if there is a good web based solution I suppose this could be done manually. | |

My site, GPS Visualizer (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/), can find the coordinates of addresses and plot them on a map. I use the TIGER database to find the locations; if you want to run your own geocoding software/database, it's not available for direct download (it's over 700MB!), but you can build your own using the instructions at http://search.cpan.org/~sderle/Geo-Coder-US/US.pm -- you can use their live demo, http://geocoder.us/, to find a few addresses, but not hundreds. |

Hello adam, I looked at the gpsvisualizer site, and it's a beauty....thanks (both for creating is, and letting us know about it). Could you do us a favor. This unanswered question: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=453851 asked about an online facility to easily add icons (e.g. pushpins) to street maps. It looks like GPS Visualizer *should* be able to do this, but I didn't see an easy way to make it happen. Any thoughts...? pafalafa-ga |
