Attention Researchers, College Students And Professionals: Do You Want To Learn QGIS Geocoding Without Having The Hassle Of Searching the Web To Work Out How To Do It? .

Have you been trying to teach yourself QGIS Geocoding without any luck?

You have looked for a Geocoding QGIS tutorial around the web, but the information you find is either incomplete or out-of-date.

In my "QGIS tutorial for Beginners #4: Learn Geocoding" course I teach you how to geocode in QGIS 3 using HD quality videos, a 86 page eBook, and downloadable teaching dataset, Step-by-Step Follow-Along style.

Did you know that any data in a spreadsheet that can be matched to a map (zip code, suburb name, street address, census block identifier, etc) is called a geocode. There are so many spreadsheets sitting on so many computers just waiting to be mapped! Perhaps I'm talking about your computer?

Geocoding can be as simple as matching a zip code column in a spreadsheet, to a GIS map of zip codes. Or, it can be as complex as matching a column of properly formatted address from a spreadsheet, to a GIS map of addresses.

Enrol in this QGIS tutorial now and you could be Geocoding your own spreadsheet by this time tomorrow!

QGIS tutorial for Beginners #4: Learn Geocoding will teach you….

• Generic Geocoding concepts – why geocodes are important and how to improve your Geocoding hit rate.

• How to format your addresses in preparation for Geocoding. I show you some simple spreadsheet formulas and also some basic SQL in QGIS.

• Three ways to geocode an address in QGIS. Using…

1. the google maps geocoder,

2. the street line geocoder, and

3. the address point geocoder.

My name is Ian Allan. I am a Masters graduate from Monash University in Melbourne Australia. While doing my post-graduate research, I co-authored the University’s first two GIS courses and taught both Grid Cell and Vector GIS to both Undergraduate and Graduate students.

Over the last 24 years I have authored and co-authored fifteen peer reviewed publications. I have worked professionally as a GIS researcher, taught GIS to thousands of students, and worked as a GIS consultant on projects as diverse as the following…

• United Nations: Post tsunami strategic planning in Banda Ache.

• Australian Federal Government: National Broadband strategic assessment.

• Victoria’s Department of Premier and Cabinet: Housing affordability modelling.

• Local Government: Environmental sustainability modelling for planners,

• Water industry: Buried water pipe condition modelling and 3d ease-of-digging modelling.

Geocoding was one of the first areas of research I was involved with. I was the first person to geocode my government's Valuer's General database of house sales. My Geocoding hit rate was 95% while others were around 40%.

Successful Geocoding is has its foundation in…

1. recognizing patterns in your address data and then

2. using some smart tactics to reformat your addresses so that the QGIS Geocoding software recognizes it.

A geocoded spreadsheet not only allows you to click-query on your spreadsheet data on a GIS map, it opens up the possibilities of a whole new world of spatial analysis. For researchers, this means that you can relate a dot on a map to any boundary you would care to, and do your own custom analyses. Imagine being able to relate an obscure spreadsheet of data to any census boundary (historic or current)…or even your own custom boundaries!

Over 7000 students have enrolled in my QGIS tutorials on Udemy. Here’s what some of them have had to say about my teaching style…

"It was very thorough and comprehensive… Ian also covered aspects of GIS Analysis - which increases your learning and appreciation of the capabilities of how powerful the GIS tool can be" – Brian L .

"Ian is vast and knowledgeable in what he teaches. I would do another course by Ian if he offered it" - Umar Y .

"A very informative course. It helps me review the GIS experience I haven't used in a while and brush up on my skills. Thanks Ian." - Jayram S.

"Really great introductory-level course! The examples were simple to follow, but also very useful.
