New Feature: Reverse Geocoding!
I built an interface to the Google Maps Reverse Geocoding API. You can now start with a list of latitude and longitude coordinates and get a map with addresses!
Google also returns an accuracy code so you now how accurate the geocoder is. There is a 15,000 geocode per IP address per day limit, so if you start seeing issues you might have hit the limit.
Please feel free to post your feedback here!
Also I added an option to attach an email address when saving a map to a web page. This will let you delete the map if needed.

So I found this awesome site yesterday and it worked awesome! Now, I've added some data to my excel sheet and my plots won't place with google maps anymore. =( Here's the link I'm trying to see in google maps…

Any thoughts why the balloons don't show anymore?
Thanks for the great resource!
Hi There,
I am trying to reverse Geocode our Customer database but I keep getting stalled on line 6 of my data pasted from my spreadsheet.
would it be possible to take a look at what is wrong with the data?
Cheers Russell
hello,
I am trying to plot lat-lon representations of river gage locations. I paste the data from a spreadsheet into the geobatch.com text window then have it geocoded and plotted, which is very helpful.
However, I now realize the locations are not plotted at the actual lat-lon because in the processing of “geocoding”, the lat-lon values are sometimes adjusted. Below is an example from the geocoded output – note that the values are tweaked slightly (compare left set with right set). I just want the lat-lon to be plotted exactly where it is, not to be shifted to some perceived geo-coded landmark and plotted. Are there any options to allow this direct plotting?
thanks alot!

Hi,
I came across ths asite a couple days ago and have used the geocoding and reverse geocoding techniques. It is the most incredible resource site, I have come across in a very long time. Thank you so much.
I am however having problems saving my “Map” after reverse geocoding all the co-ordinates. It works perfectly and plots all the ballons in the correct places. However it does not give me the option to save it, or input my e-mail address. I thus do not recieve the email which provides me with the coding to embed the map on my site, or edit the saved map.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for this resource, I will most definetly be making a donation, in the near future.
Kyle.
Kyle – thanks for the heads up, this should be fixed now.
admin – Thanks Guys!
Hi. Have just discovered your site & it could be the answer to so many of the problems im having with MapInfo software (costs our company $10k + per licence p.a.!). Would really like to know when Reverse Geocoding at street level in Australia will be available. Theres currently no option on your site for this, but you mention Yahoo might be working on it. Thanks
Tom -
Try this page http://www.batchgeo.com/reverse/
Thanks. I was using that, but hadn’t turned off example loading & then refreshed the page. I can copy data in now, but when i click ‘Run Reverse Geocoder’ it appears to start processing, but theres also an ‘error on page’ message at the bottom left hand corner of the browser. I’ve waited a good 10mins several times, but the map still shows a grey screen, and hasn’t moved on past record 1 (of 12). This is on Internet Explorer. Will try with Safari and Firefox at home later.
Have just tried with Safari and Firefox on a Mac, and am having the same problem. I can only assume its because my geocodes are in Australia, and these are not available. Heres an example of my first 2 rows…
Latitude Longitude Name Group
153.068979 -27.514381 HOLLAND PARK Group 1
153.064926 -27.395255 NORTHGATE Group 2
If you think of a solution i’d love to know. Will be more than happy to make a donation!
FYI – Problem solved. Sorry to report it was a case of user error. I had my Latitude & Longitude’s round the wrong way. Makes sense when you remember the world is round!
was reverse geocoding feature removed from batchgeo site? No longer at batchgeo.com/reverse
We changed the behavior so now you can use the http://batchgeo.com/ interface to plot lat/longs instantly, then when you click on a marker it performs a reverse geocode to show you the address.
