Auto Geocode

    Tobias,

    Is there a way to automatically perform a geocode on a series of columns?

    For instance, if you have columns:
    Street Address
    City
    State/Province
    Postal Code

    Is there a way to have that address automatically geocoded into a Lat/Lon column if the address fields are not null?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,

    thanks for your question.

    I see what you are trying to do, but unfortunately, I don’t see an easy way to do this in TablePress. First of all, you would need some solution (e.g. another plugin) that will actually retrieve the Lat/Lon values for the address from some source or database. TablePress obviously does not have something like that. Once you have such a solution/plugin, the question is whether it can be used with data from a TablePress table, but that’s hard to say right now. It might then probably be easier to use a real database table as the data source.

    Regards,
    Tobias
