Below you can enter in an address to be validated/geocoded for latitude and longitude coordinate information. You can also click on the map to get satellite photos and driving directions. International geocoding supported (North America and Europe), see below for a complete list. If you have more than one address, use our other page to map multiple locations. With this tool you can find center map coordinates using zip code, city, or state as well.

 

Why use this tool?

• Locate addresses fast - instant map and coordinate display, no page refreshes.
• International Map Coordinates - Lookup coordinates worldwide at the zip, state, city, and address level.
• Yahoo! Geocoding service uses high quality commercial datasets, much better accuracy and coverage than other free geocode systems that use TIGER data.
• Quick Multiple Address Mapping using our Bulk Geocoder
• Try our bulk Reverse Geocoding Service, useful for getting an address from latitude/longitude coordinates (U.S., Canada, and Europe.)

Can I link directly to this tool from my application? How?

Yes! Just create a URL like this: The parameter you will need to pass is "q", where q=<your address>. For the address itself, just follow the example syntax at the top of this page. Upon loading the page your geocode will run automatically, this is a great way to put maps into any application easily. Go ahead, try it.
