Hi Juan, I don't know a way to do this in R. Outside of R you need both data (such as a road network file with address ranges, address centroids, or a land parcel layer) and software (a postal address geocoder). My guess is that you will likely find it easiest to use one of the online mapping sites (like Google maps) and script based geocoder software. To that end, you might want to look at geopy: www.geopy.org. Dan

Dear List, I need to geocode or to convert from address to coordenates. If someone knows what program I should use and some tips for it. Thanks Juan
