It makes it easy for Python developers to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the globe using third-party geocoders and other data sources. GeoPy is a Python client for several popular geocoding web services. The source code is open to view and change, and contributions are welcomed. It calls the Geocoding API through the GeoPy Python client. It will parse the file and add coordinate information as well as some metadata on geocoded results like the location type, as discussed below. The following script, hosted on our Woosmap Github Organization, is a basic utility for geocoding CSV files that have address data included.

Most of the time, your dataset has addresses but no location information. To take advantages of these features, you first have to push geocoded locations to our system, as we discussed in this previous post.

With Woosmap you can request nearby location or display on a map a lot of geographic elements like stores or any other point of interest. Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like a street address) into geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude).
