Can you get geocoordinates (also known as geocodes) for an address with Google Maps?
Yes, you can get geocoordinates (also known as geocodes) from Google Maps without using their API by manually entering each address. But if you have a list of addresses, you're better off using a batch geocoder, like Geocodio.
You can follow the steps below to one-by-one find coordinates for addresses with Google Maps. This only takes a minute if you only have one address. But if you have a list of 10 or 100 addresses, you could spend an hour if not more looking all of them up manually.
To save time, you could instead upload your spreadsheet of addresses to Geocodio and Geocodio will automatically add the coordinates. (Please note, Geocodio only works for the US, Canada, and Mexico.) See how to format your spreadsheet here, and then you can upload it here.
You can also do a one-by-one lookup with Geocodio below, just to see how it works.

Spreadsheet formatting
It's worth taking a minute to make sure your spreadsheet is formatted properly with headers before uploading to Geocodio.
Additional data
You can get much more than coordinates from Geocodio. Add FIPS codes, timezones, Congressional districts, and more—all in one go.
