Geolocation tool

Anyone know a tool to get co-ords from an address, please?

I have 500+ addresses and I need to get co-ords for each .

I've seen one or two free ones that are expired

Thanks.

I don’t mind the limit.

I’ll check the API doc now - is it easy for a non technical guy?

It's not too bad.

Here is an example string: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org...t,+Despatch,+South+Africa&format=json&limit=1

Searching for 3 Elizabeth Street, Despatch gives me this output:



Honestly, I would just use ChatGPT to form the bulk queries and then have it extract the output that you need from the resulting JSON data. I am also a non-technical guy, lol so there are probably better ways of going about it.

Use Google maps - click on the resulting marker once you have added the address and right click

Then click on the coordinates and it copies to clipboard and you paste it where you want it
