geocoding
Mapping text locations
Geocoding is the process of converting addresses or place names into geographic coordinates—latitude and longitude.
A mapping app geocodes your destination to plot it on a map.
Reverse geocoding works the opposite way, translating coordinates into a human-readable address: The photo's metadata was reverse geocoded to show where it was taken.
