Hi everyone,
about two months ago we announced our spreadsheet geocoding tool was leaving beta. I am pleased to share that since then - thanks to the feedback of many customers _ we have continued iterating on the service and added new functionalities and improvements.
Besides just general fixes to the geocoding (which are of course going on all the time) there are two main things we wanted to make you aware of:
- First of all, you no longer need to upload a spreadsheet (Excel file, CSV file, etc). You can now simply cut and paste your data into a form if that is easier for you:
- Secondly, the processing is now much faster as we use multiple processes in parallel. This is exspecially the case for paying customers (as opposed to free trial users).
Please keep your feedback coming. It has been eye-opening to learn the many varied use cases for this service and also to see the variety of data people want us to process. Frankly, there continue to be edge cases we have not anticipated, so we keep leqrning and adapting. As always we will do best if you are able to follow our spreadsheet formatting guidelines.
Happy geocoding (whether by uploading a spreadsheet, cut and pasting, or via our API,
