Geocoding

Overview

The addresses in your records need to be converted into latitude and longitude before DayBack can render them on the map (and before Google can perform distance operations on them). This conversion is called geocoding and turns an address into something like this:

37.78991371628879, -122.39723369445706

You can see the latitude and longitude for any address in Google Maps by right-clicking on pins in the map:

Latitude and longitude is not the only way to "code" an address, but it the only one Google's API will recognize. Other schemes include WhatThreeWords, which breaks the globe into three-meter squares and gives each square a three-word address.

Some applications will geocode your customers and prospects for you, so you may already have this conversion done. But if you don't, DayBack can do this for you using a custom action.
