Street addresses

 

Do utilities exist to translate street addresses into poi/waypoint files?

I'm not aware of any

I'm not aware of any specific utility you are inquiring about, however, you can always Google Earth any address and then copy the Lat/Long shown at the bottom of the screen to a POI file.

I have been looking for something like this for weeks. Thanks this is very useful for finding a new business or one that moved to a very new location that isn't on the standard Google Maps.

Timing is everything. I really needed for a trip next Monday. Thanks.

Batch conversion site

I've used a site that allows batch conversion of lat/lon to addresses - works really well:

http://www.batchgeocode.com/

I've converted 50-100 coordinates at one time - easy to use and quick - only slows down when it cannot find an address for a specific lat/lon sad

Those are some great links.

Those are some great links. Thanks

Note that the gpsvisualizer

Note that the gpsvisualizer fellow specifically asks that no one geocode truckloads of addresses without asking first.

"NOTE: If, without asking permission, you try to convert thousands of addresses, your access will be blocked."
