GeoCoding QGIS plugins released
QGIS logo
In the past few days I’ve been actively working on a new GeoCoding python plugin for the open source GIS software QGIS.
This new plugin allows a user to obtain geographic coordinates of a location knowing its address, the geocoding process is handled by Google webservices. Additionally, GeoCoding plugin allows “reverse geocoding”, i.e. to obtain an address, from the point coordinates (clic on the map canvas). All geocoded points are automatically added to a point layer.
You can find the new plugin on QGIS the 3rd parties repository.

Hi,
Really nice tool. Very usefull to add some important easly on a map.
If you want to improve this plugin, it could be nice that the plugin would give you the choise when there are different localisation possible instead to answer with an error.
For example I tried to located the university of Vienna but I can’t because it seems that there is 2 different solutions.
Here is the adress if you want to try:Doktor Karl Lueger Ring 1 1010 Wien, Austria
and here is the error I got: There was an error with the geocoding service:
Didn’t find exactly one placemark! (Found 2.)
Thanks for All

@all:
this plugin was developed in my spare time, nobody funded its development, so I’m not going to invest more time on it.
If you have a budget for further developments, feel free to send me an email.
Most of search strings that work on maps.google.com will also work with the plugin but the plugin will fail when a single exact location cannot be found.
