Batch Coordinate to Address Converter

Typical Use Cases

Scenario 1: Reverse Geocoding Device Locations
Logistics companies receive tens of thousands of vehicle GPS coordinates daily and need to quickly identify the street or neighborhood where each vehicle is parked for dispatch and delivery confirmation. Paste the coordinates into our tool to export a spreadsheet with addresses all at once, saving you from searching them one by one.

Scenario 2: User Distribution Profiling
App backends collect location coordinates when users log in. Operations teams want to analyze which provinces, cities, or business districts users are concentrated in. Batch import the coordinates, and the output will include province/city/district fields, ready for pivot table analysis.

Scenario 3: Converting Clustering Results to Addresses
Data scientists use clustering algorithms to group POI coordinates into clusters, with each cluster center being a latitude and longitude pair. Convert these center points into addresses so your reports can state, "The key area is near the intersection of X Road and Y Road."

How to Use

1. Prepare Coordinate Data: Write a pair of longitude and latitude on each line, separated by a comma. For example, 116.397428,39.90923. If you have an Excel file, upload it directly (supports .xlsx/.xls).
2. Paste or Upload: On our tool page, you can paste the text into the input box or click "Upload Excel" to select a file. The system will automatically parse the first column as longitude and the second as latitude (it will also auto-detect if the header row is "lng,lat").
3. Confirm Cost and Convert: Each coordinate consumes 5 coins, with a maximum of 500 records per batch. The estimated coin deduction will be displayed before conversion. Click "Start Conversion" and wait a few seconds to a minute (depending on the quantity).
4. View and Export: The result table will display the corresponding full address, province, city, and district/county for each row. Click "Export Excel" to download the spreadsheet with addresses for easy follow-up processing.

Complete Example

Suppose you have a set of mobile phone location coordinates (Latitude 39.90923, Longitude 116.397428) and want to see the exact location.

Input (Pasted Content):
116.397428,39.90923

Output Result (Example):

Interpretation: This coordinate corresponds to the vicinity of Tiananmen Square, with the address pinpointed to the street level. If you have hundreds of coordinates, each row will return an address in a similar format, which can be directly plotted on a map or used in reports.

How to Interpret the Results

• Full Address: Arranged from largest to smallest administrative division, such as "Tiananmen Square, Donghuamen Subdistrict, Dongcheng District, Beijing". Suitable for direct entry into customer information or reports.
• Province/City/District: Separated into three individual fields for easy statistical analysis. For example, you can filter all "Beijing" records to count the number in each district.
• Note: Reverse geocoding relies on online geocoding services. If coordinates deviate from roads or are indoors, it may return "No Result" or an approximate address (like across the street). If the returned address is just "Dongcheng District, Beijing", it means the precision is only at the district level.

Common Mistakes & Pitfalls

1. Reversed Coordinate Order: It is customary to write longitude first, then latitude. Many people write "latitude, longitude", which causes the address to map to the opposite side of the world. Check your data source format; Baidu Maps, for example, typically returns "longitude, latitude".
2. Ignoring Coordinate System Differences: Our tool defaults to the WGS84 coordinate system (raw GPS coordinates). If you use coordinates from Amap (GCJ-02) or Baidu Maps (BD-09), direct input will result in an offset of several hundred meters. You need to convert the coordinate system before inputting, or contact customer service for confirmation.
3. Using Spaces or Full-width Commas: This causes parsing failures. Please ensure each line contains only "number,number" using a standard half-width English comma.
4. Exceeding 500 Records at Once: The system will prompt that the limit has been exceeded, and you will need to process them in batches.
5. Assuming the Free Version Supports Batch Processing: This tool is a paid premium version, costing 5 coins per record. If you only have a few records, you can use the free single conversion tool (which only checks 1 record at a time).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. My coordinates are from Baidu Maps. Can I use this tool?
Not directly. Baidu coordinates (BD-09) are secondary-encrypted and must be converted to WGS84 before input. You can use a third-party coordinate conversion tool or contact us for batch conversion services.

2. Why do some coordinates return "No Result"?
Possible reasons: The coordinates are in sparsely populated areas like oceans or deserts, or the coordinate precision is too low (e.g., fewer than 4 decimal places). Additionally, weak indoor GPS signals can also cause reverse geocoding to fail.

3. How many records can I convert at once? How is the cost calculated?
A maximum of 500 records per batch, at 5 coins per record. For example, if you upload 400 records, it will cost 2,000 coins. Conversion cannot start if your account balance is insufficient.

4. Can I use the addresses in the exported Excel directly for my project?
The addresses are for reference only and are not official administrative boundary data. They are recommended for internal statistical analysis. For legal documents or administrative registration, please refer to local government publications.

5. How do I preview data after uploading an Excel file?
After a successful upload, the table will display the first 5 rows of coordinates. Confirm the format is correct before clicking convert. If you find the column names are incorrect, you can adjust them manually.

6. How fast is the conversion?
500 records take about 5-10 seconds, depending on network conditions. Please do not close the page during the conversion process.

Important Notes

• This tool relies on online geocoding services. It may time out or fail when the network is unstable; using a stable Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
• The accuracy of reverse geocoding results is affected by coordinate quality: open outdoor areas are usually accurate to the house number, while indoors or in tunnels may only reach the street level.
• Coordinate conversion for military or classified areas is not supported. The tool will return empty results for sensitive coordinates.
• Coins are non-refundable after recharging. Please confirm your data volume before purchasing.
