Pin-Maps: Your Addresses on the Map

How do I put my locations, customers and other address data on the interactive map?

To put your addresses on the map, they need to be “geocoded”, as we say in the industry. Geocoding assigns XY coordinates to an address. This is done with geocoder software.


WIGeoGIS provides a state-of-the-art online geocoder. JoinAddress Web means fully automatic, high-precision geocoding in your browser. No software to install, nothing to download. Just log in and get started. WIGeoGIS has more than 20 years of experience and expertise in geocoding and WebGIS.

Geocoding - Technical Basis for the Creation of Pin Maps

Almost everyone knows about pin maps and the display of addresses on interactive maps from Google, Bing or MapPoint. What many do not know: It is based on a technological masterpiece. Special software called geocoding software, locates addresses or other spatial data (e.g. sales areas, catchment areas) on the map. The geocoder assigns the address XY coordinates. The quality of these coordinates can vary significantly. The highest quality level is extremely precise. Market leaders in the map area do not always provide the most accurate location data for every country worldwide. JoinAddress, however, employs a sophisticated mechanism to ensure precise addresses. When is this relevant? For example, if you need to know exactly where a parking lot, a mailbox or a garden is located and 50 meters away simply is not accurate enough.
