The Geocode tool is part of the geospatial utilities, alongside Directions, Polygon, and Point-in-Polygon. Use it when you need a consistent GeoJSON Point (and related fields) for downstream geospatial tools. It supports three modes:
  1. Forward geocoding — street address, postal code, and country (optionally city and region) → coordinates and structured place fields.
  2. Reverse geocoding — latitude and longitude → address-style properties and coordinates.
  3. Coordinates to GeoJSON — numeric lat/lon columns → a geometry column with a Point struct only (no external geocoding call).

​
Outputs (summary)

  • Forward and Reverse append geocoding columns such as geometry (the GeoJSON point), latitude, longitude, structured fields (for example street, locality, region, country), and geocode_error when a row could not be resolved. With max results greater than 1, one input row can produce multiple output rows (one per matching feature).
  • Coordinates to GeoJSON keeps your input columns and adds a geometry column: a GeoJSON Point [longitude, latitude].
1

Geocode mode

Choose Address to coordinates (forward).
2

Street and street number column

Select the string column that contains the street and street number (for example Downing Street 10). Only text columns are supported.
3

Postal code column

Select the string column that contains the postal code. Only text columns are supported.
4

Country column

Select the string column used to bias the search. Values must be ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes (for example USA, GBR).
5

City column (optional)

Optionally select a string column for the city or locality. Only text columns are supported.
6

Region column (optional)

Optionally select a string column for the region — first-level administrative divisions within countries, analogous to states in the US. Only text columns are supported.
7

Max results

Use the slider to choose between 1 and 10 matches to return per row. Higher values return more candidate features when the geocoder finds several matches.
