sfkeller opened a new issue #6902: Geocode location data
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/6902
 
 
   Feature (I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven't found one similar):
   
   Geocode location data similar to Fusion Tables.
   
   Citing [1]:
   
   > Geographic data that describes a location must be geocoded in order to place it on a map. Usually the description is an address, complete with city, state, zipcode or postcode all combined in one column. Geocoding in Fusion Tables is similar to pasting a description of a location into Google Maps.
   > 
   > Latitude, longitude pairs and KML are already mappable and do not need to be geocoded.
   
   There are existing geocoding sw and services. IMO they shoul be based in OpenStreetMap, like Photon [2] (Mapbox' has also a geocoder with different license).
