Overview
Geocoding is the process of converting non-spatial locational data into its
corresponding spatial representation, most typically converting postal address data
into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). The USC WebGIS Geocoder
represents the current version of research-based geocoding software, and is continually
being improved. The services available on this site allow a user to process a single
address (parsed or non-parsed) as well as a database of records in batch.
If you encounter any problems or find any cases where the software fails, we would like to hear
about it so we can work to improve the quality of the services. Please
let us know.
