2 years ago There are some difficulties using Nominatim It's completely free, and there are two ways of using it: 1) there are some servers that provide services of geocoding using Nominatim engine - for example Openmap service - is the most popular and widely used. And here is a bottleneck - using these servers is restricted by some rules that decline bulk/batch geocoding and request frequency (https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/) - so using free servers doesn't allow us to geocode large (thousands) amount of data in a reasonable time. 2) The second way is installing and running the own version of Nominatim (https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/admin/Installation/) but it needs a lot of server's resources, and I'm not sure those resources are equal to usefulness of geocoding ability in GIS module of Datagrok.

Add functions of geocoding to the GIS package geocoding means - process of receiving geographical coordinates by address and reverse process there are few open source tools for geocoding, such as: Nominatim Photon also some conditionally free resources can be used such as: Bing MapQuest Geocoding API OpenCage gisgraphy Google Maps
