Coordinates Mapper / Identify Street Addresses

plot your map coordinates - instantly

Got a giant list of GPS coordinates? Want to see them on a map? How about retrieving address data for them? You've come to the right place. Below you can quickly take a list of latitude and longitude coordinates and quickly map them as well as retrieve address data. After your done you can save the map to its own web page for future use, or dump the results out to Google Earth. The process is called Reverse Geocoding and it uses the Google Maps engine to retrieve the data and display the map using the best data available. Did we mention this tool is free for you to use? Enjoy!

Step #1 Start by putting your data in a compatible delimited format
(tab-delimited is easier for copying from an external source, bar-delimited should be used for hand entry):

Tab Delimited (Download Excel Map Template) Bar ("|") Delimited

Step #2 Copy/paste coordinates into the table below, or try it out with the example data provided:
(example file will load automatically upon selecting a format, click here to turn off example loading. )

Step #3 Click "Validate Source" to ensure data format is readable and populate column data:

Step #4

Select appropriate columns from the drop-downs below. Use address/city/state for exact map, or city/state or zip can be used for regional map:

Location Fields			Map Fields (not required)
Latitude Field			Title
Longitude Field			Description
			Group By
			URL
			Image URL
Map Options			(Note: URLs and Image URLs should start with "http://" or they will not work properly.)
Calculate (straight line) distance from first address in Show field names in map description (when using "All Remaining Fields" option) Select a default map view to show

Step #5 Click "Run Reverse Geocoder" and wait for mapping to finish:

Step #6

Reverse geocoding results are below, you can copy/paste this back into a spreadsheet or import into a database. Right click on the form below and click "Select All", then right click again and click "Copy." Formatting is maintained but columns containing address information are added: address, city, state, and zip code:

All done! You now have addresses for your coordinates, want to see your results on a map? Below is a map of the reverse geocoded results. Click on each point to get the address information from that record.

What could I use this for?

Find Address Data for your GPS Coordinates - Copy coordinate data directly from spreadsheet program such as Excel or the free equivalent OpenOffice Calc.
Create direct mailings based off of map coordinates - Use your list of latitude and longitude coordinates to create address data for a mass mailings.

What is reverse geocoding?

Reverse Geocoding, is the process of taking a map coordinate and identifying a steet address or real world name for that location.

Why is this reverse geocoder unique?

Our batch reverse geocoder allows you to quickly take a large list of map coordinates and turn them into address information. We don't know of any other batch reverse geocoders on the internet!

What about getting a mailing address from a map coordinates?

This should be possible if the Google Maps data is accurate enough. It requires the map coordinate to fall directly on the building / parcel, and Google to have parcel level data in that area. Parcel data is available for many U.S. cities and that dataset is growing all the time. I would look for address results that do not contain an address range (ie: 100-200) and you should be able to get specific enough data that you can perform direct mailings using the resulting data. Looking at the Google Maps API, accuracy of at least a level 8 would be required.

Data Coverage

Street level geocoding is available in United States, Canada, and the following European Countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Finland, Germany, United Kingdom (UK), Luxembourg, Netherlands, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Wales, and Italy. Country, State, and City level geocoding is available for Europe, Asia, Central and South America. We expect Yahoo! will continue to expand coverage of their street level data to the rest of the world soon, keep checking back! The name of the coordinate system used is WGS84, this is the decimal degrees version of the coordinate system commonly used in GPS devices.
