Geocoding and reverse geocoding

Precise coordinates for your location addresses


Show your customers where you are on the map. Using geocoding you can transform postal addresses such as "CAS-Weg 1, 76131 Karlsruhe" into coordinates and then visualize them precisely on the map thanks to forward geocoding. With reverse geocoding you transform a coordinate into an address. This is, for instance, very helpful when locating a user in an app and for automatically completing addresses. We recommend you use autocomplete to support your users when entering addresses and to aid in finding addresses quickly.
