#geocodes
There is a nice API on Oracle Autonomous that geocodes and validates addresses. The issue is it does not return the full 6-character Canadian Post Code. I get the same result for the elocation.oracle.com/geocoder/gcs... API and APEX. Has anyone else encountered this? #ATP #orclAPEX 🇨🇦

I have invented a new geographic coordinate encoding system, which I call "Adaptive Geocodes". You can play with the PoC tool here:

Eye on Development is a CLI and API for visualizing development activity in Lower Salford Township, PA. It scrapes the township's Eye on Development page, geocodes locations, and renders a map with color-coded markers by process stage. You can use it as a command-line tool, as a REST API, or run […]

inspired by @harlanzw.com's cool meetup page, I added what is possibly a terrible feature to my site.

- location auto-updates daily using apple shortcuts
- bigdatacloud.com reverse geocodes it
- stores it in @sanity.io
- displays it as an emoji in header + in a line of text

privacy? what privacy?

It's mine! I update it every few weeks or on request instead of full automation so I can eyeball the changes for sanity. It just scrapes the official tracker page and geocodes the addresses to put on the map

Have you ever considered the GeoCodes associated with places in RootsMagic? I hadn’t paid much attention until I was adding abbreviations to some entries and decided to update the GeoCodes simultaneously. That’s when I discovered that the entry for Seneca, Ontario County, New York, United States was missing its GeoCode. To resolve this, my first step was to verify the correct county for Seneca by searching on Google.

Jeff, Are you getting overall totals of shootings (counts) or do you have incident-level data with geocodes?

These particular field ciphers (and field MACs/hashes) were designed to work directly with Google's Plus Codes, which are essentially compact geocodes for identifying any location on Earth.

Wrapping up fieldHash and fieldMAC for my Duke class; theoretically variable length, but we'll be looking at one designed specifically for 10-char Plus Codes (think Google Maps), using its special 20-char charset.

There are a lot of options out there for geocoding.

I'm personally fond of Mapbox's solution, which gets you 100k free geocodes per month.

So much so that I wrote an #rstats wrapper for it, which you can use in the {mapboxapi} package.

Your data table just got a pink power-up 🎀

Geolocation columns for data based on CSVs are here 🎉

Change an address in the table → The feature moves instantly on the map. It even geocodes automatically! No extra steps.

TIL about GB-SCT and #ISO_3166-2 that that gives geocodes to administrative divisions. Well played my 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 friend, well played.

are there data out there measuring americans' views on higher education/value of a postsecondary degree over time (and maybe with geocodes for state)?

No AI, just a dinobaby watching the world respond to the tech bros. Some data must be processed to add geocodes to the items. Typically the geocode is a latitude and longitude coordinate. Some specialized services add addition codes to facilitate height and depth measurements. However, a geocode is not just what are generally called “lat and long coordinates.” Here’s a selected list of some of the items which may be included in a for-fee service:

I spent much of 2024 developing the {mapgl} #rstats package.

My dev process was focused on Shiny apps; I'd sketch out an app concept I found interesting then built features to make it.

A favorite: an app that reverse-geocodes and calculates distances to a draggable marker
