Thanks for the quick reply! I didn’t bother reading the link about the geocoding limit at 5,000/day. My list was 5,100 records long. I cut it down to 50 records and it worked great!

This is really cool and it will become very useful once we figure out how to get past the limit.

That pipes uses the Yahoo! Maps geocoder, so as long as your address can be found in Yahoo! Maps you should be fine. I tried your address and it seems to work.

I tried this and followed your steps but I am using addresses in this format:

29021 CONSUELO PL, MISSION VIEJO, CA 92692

I am not a developer – but before I ask my guys to do it I would like to know what needs to be edited in the Pipe to get this to work.

Thanks,

There is a CSV module available in Pipes, so I bet it should be possible to find a solution using a table instead of a feed.

awesome work man!!! I was also wondering if its possible to upload data to map from a spreadsheet than a data feed, if so what changes need to be done in pipes. Also can we display more information(that may be available in the spreadsheet on a location) than just the address itself when we click on the marker icon on the map.

a while ago I used XSLT to transform kml into csv:

I am curious how one could export the latitudes and longitudes back into a spreadsheet. I need that data for a project I am working on where I am trying to geocode a whole lot of addresses. Any suggestions?

Well, I guess by adding webservices like geonames.org you could extend the geo-functionality of the pipe.

Great pipe. Is it possible to create a user input value to return a specific postcode or radius thereof?
