Batch Geocoding with R and Google maps

Batch Geocoding with R and Google maps

“(…)

There is a usage limit on the geocoding service for free users of 2,500 addresses per IP address per day. This hard limit cannot be overcome without employing new a IP address, or paying for a business account. To ease the pain of starting an R process every 2,500 addresses / day, I’ve built the a script that geocodes addresses up the the API query limit every day with a few handy features:

• Once it hits the geocoding limit, it patiently waits for Google’s servers to let it proceed.
• The script pings Google once per hour during the down time to start geocoding again as soon as possible.
• A temporary file containing the current data state is maintained during the process. Should the script be interrupted, it will start again from the place it left off once any problems with the data /connection has been rectified.

StreetComplete

StreetComplete is an Android app which finds wrong, incomplete or extendable data in the user’s vicinity and provides them the tools to complete these easily and directly on site without having to use another editor.
Data issues are presented to the user as markers on a map (like with Mapdust for example). They can be solved by filling out a simple form to complete/correct the information. The user’s answers are then processed and directly uploaded into the OSM database categorised by quest type in the name of the user’s OSM account. Since the app is meant to be used while out and about, it works offline and otherwise aims to be economic with data usage.
