Overview

Contains a range of geocoders:

### “regular” address geocoders

  • Yahoo Geocoder - requires an API key.

  • Geocoder.us - may require authentication if performing more than the free request limit.

  • Geocoder.ca - for Canada; may require authentication as well.

  • Geonames - a free geocoder

### address geocoders that also provide reverse geocoding

  • Google Geocoder - requires an API key.

### IP address geocoders

  • IP Geocoder - geocodes an IP address using hostip.info’s web service.

  • Geoplugin.net – another IP address geocoder

### The Multigeocoder

  • Multi Geocoder - provides failover for the physical location geocoders.

Some of these geocoders require configuration. You don’t have to provide it here. See the README.
