<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><font face="Courier New" size="2">Joseph,</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2">Using just the MMQGIS plugin (Geocode from street layer), I geocoded a little over 8300 records with an 86% match to a street centerline stored in a local database. Given the errors in the original address data, I thought that was pretty good. It did have a little trouble in some spots handling even/odd sides of the street segments and seemed to have trouble with a few oddball street types that were not abbreviated (e.g., TERRACE) and with highway designations, but on the whole I thought it did a pretty good job. I had not updated my plugin so you might want to make sure you are running the most current version (2014.2.28).</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <p><font face="Courier New" size="2">It would be nice to see future options for records stored in a database table (instead of just csv) and the ability to geocode to other layers such as address points. Even a straight text match to alternate layers would be helpful. Hierarchical geocoding, as you described, would be a logical progression from there.</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <p><font face="Courier New" size="2">If you come up with anything different, I'd be interested to hear...</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <p><font face="Courier New" size="2">Best Regards,</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2">James</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 16:47:02 -0500<br>From: jbsloop@uncg.edu<br>To: Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>Subject: [Qgis-user] Batch GeoCoding within QGIS 2.0<br><br><div dir="ltr">Hello Everyone,<div>I have a question about Batch GeoCoding within QGIS. I have a couple datasets that are rather large (500 +) of addresses. I GeoCoded them in ArcGIS with an Address Locator build on local data (address points, tax parcels and street centerlines). I then tried doing the same thing in QGIS and just was not able to get a good GeoCode. I tried using the MMQGIS Plugin and using GPS Visualizer (found on this blog: <a href="http://www.stevencanplan.com/2009/how-to-geocode-in-open-source-qgis/" target="_blank">http://www.stevencanplan.com/2009/how-to-geocode-in-open-source-qgis/</a>) This geocoded alot better. I was just wondering if there is a way to Batch GeoCode within QGIS using your own data (address points, tax parcels and street centerlines) as the parameters and not Google or OpenStreet Maps?</div>
