Mapping: Geocoding?

Will there be a function to automatically geocode records (add latitude and longitude coordinates) from an address record (with or without postcode or zipcode) so the resulting records can be displayed on a map?

Graham - Omniscope already features functions that access various free online geo-coding options, as you can see in the attached example...

Given that each geo-coding service, especially the free ones, react differently to different search string attributes and ordering, we recommend that your Omniscope geo-coding files never rely on just one source. It is easy to consult and compare many different geo-coding sources using Omniscope.

High-end professional global geocoding services such as those provided to paying subscribers by ESRI and others can also be added via planned new Omniscope web services and API Connectors.
