Geocoding API

Convert addresses to geocoordinates and vice versa with high accuracy

What is the purpose of geocoding?

Geocoding is the process of converting addresses into sets of latitude and longitude coordinates and vice versa. It’s a prerequisite for all geolocation-based applications: It enables you to search and precisely display geographic locations on digital maps. Therefore, geocoding is the foundation for all mapping and vehicle routing and optimisation tasks.
