Geocoder Method |
Geocoding is the process of converting human-readable addresses (e.g. "42 Scenic Drive, Yourtown, ON") into geographic coordinates (e.g. latitude 44.123456 and longitude -79.654321), which you can use to place markers or position the map.
The process of translating a location on a map to a human-readable address is known as reverse geocoding. Both processes are available using the two formats of the geocode$( ) method.
