Also, if you have ArcGIS, the north american locator that by default is in the software does a decent job at matching addresses. It also has a very intuitive geocoding interface. Sorry, I'm a stickler for this, but it's NOT georeferencing, it's geocoding. gis.stackexchange.com/questions/28593/…. | |

| Feb 25, 2014 at 7:23 | comment | added | ccsv | @user2856159 I am trying to do it on only python if possible. I just need a visual plot with color dots to see the colors on the map to determine if patterns can be visually inspected. | |

What I'm getting at is, if you've got a CSV file for example (could be written out via python), you could upload the CSV to a wide variety of websites that could do exactly what you are asking for and they'd even geocode those addresses into lat/long for you. That would probably be a lot quicker and easier to use an existing system like that than building your own. If you don't want web based though, there are also plenty of options, but again, you're going to have to be more specific. Your question's a LOT broader than you realize... | |

| Feb 24, 2014 at 23:16 | comment | added | John | I think you need to do a little more to clearly define your expected outcome so someone can help you. The process of converting an address to a spatial location (latitude/longitude) is called georeferencing and there are lots of resources on that and lots of help available if you want. What you need to clarify is what do you want to do with the resulting XY point locations. Are you wanting an interactive web-map, are you wanting a static image, what roads do you want to show (do you trust web maps like Google maps)? Does it have to be desktop & python based? Available GIS software or data? | |
