Which is better batch geocoding or batch geocode?


Asked by Ayaan Rasmussen on Nov 30, 2021 FAQ



Batch geocoding performance is better when the address parts are stored in separate fields. In this guide, we will observe: **Tip:** You can also batch geocode address tables using the gis.content.import_data () and Item.publish () methods. These are higher-level APIs that simplify the batch geocoding process.
Subsequently,
Batch geocoding, also known as bulk geocoding, is the process of converting a list of addresses or place names to a set of complete addresses with locations. Batch geocoding is commonly used to: Convert a number of addresses to complete addresses.
Consequently, As miguev mentioned, Google does not allow batch geocoding. However, HERE does have a batch geocoder that you can use go geocode multiple addresses in one call. I think there is some misunderstanding when you use the word "batch geocoding".
Keeping this in consideration,
As a best practice, the number of batch geocoding threads should be set proportionally to the number of instances available for the geocode service. For example, if there are eight instances available for the geocode service and the ArcGIS Server machine is only being used for batch geocoding, set the number of batch geocoding threads to 8.
Likewise,
Because geocoding large amounts of data can be computationally intensive, some geocoders require a fee to use. Free geocoders are often restricted in the amount of free processing you can acquire before being required to pay for further processing, or they are temporally limited in the number of records that can be processed per amount of time.
