- **Keywords:** address to lat lon, address geocoder, latitude longitude, geocode address, coordinates lookup

## Overview

Turn a typed address into mappable coordinates with a normalized label and quick validation links.

## Inputs

- **Address** (textarea): 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA
- **Country Code Bias (Optional)** (text): Optional ISO-3166 alpha-2 country codes to narrow ambiguous addresses

## When to use

- When you need to convert physical street addresses into exact GPS coordinates for mapping applications.
- When you want to verify and normalize ambiguous addresses using optional country code biases.
- When you need quick validation links to check coordinates directly on a map.

## How it works

- Enter the full or partial street address into the Address input field.
- Optionally, provide ISO-3166 alpha-2 country codes in the Country Code Bias field to narrow down the search.
- Submit the query to retrieve the normalized location details, latitude, longitude, and map links.

## Use cases

- Geocoding store locations to plot them on an interactive store locator map.
- Standardizing customer-entered shipping addresses and verifying their physical coordinates.
- Resolving ambiguous city names by applying a country code bias for regional logistics planning.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I restrict the search to a specific country?

Yes, you can enter ISO-3166 alpha-2 country codes in the Country Code Bias field to narrow down results.

### What output format does this tool provide?

It outputs normalized place details, latitude and longitude coordinates, and quick validation links.

### Do I need to enter a zip code?

No, but including a zip code or country code bias helps improve geocoding accuracy.

### Can I geocode multiple addresses at once?

This tool processes one address query at a time to ensure precise matching and normalization.

### What is a normalized address?

It is the standardized, official formatting of the address returned by the geocoding service.
