What is Geocoding?
Definition
The process of converting street addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for mapping and location-based operations.
Understanding Geocoding
Geocoding enables address validation, service area checking, route mapping, and distance calculations. It translates human-readable addresses into coordinates computers can process.
Why It Matters for Waste Haulers
Without geocoding, location-based features would not work. It is the foundation of mapping, routing, and territory management.
