Definition from Wikipedia >\u00a0Geocoding<\/b>\u00a0is the process of finding associated\u00a0geographic coordinates<\/a>\u00a0(often expressed as\u00a0latitude<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0longitude<\/a>) from other geographic data, such as\u00a0street addresses<\/a>, or\u00a0ZIP codes<\/a>\u00a0(postal codes<\/a>). With geographic coordinates the features can be mapped and entered into\u00a0Geographic Information Systems<\/a>, or the coordinates can be embedded into media such as digital photographs via\u00a0geotagging<\/a>.<\/p>\n
