While it should be obvious that each address corresponds with only one position on the planet, in real life it's not that easy. Addresses may be wrong, wrongly spelled, not complete, or not recognized at all, i.e. when they are new or renamed. That makes geocoding a difficult task, one that other services have specialized in.
RouteXL makes use of these awesome geocoding services: Bing, Google, hereHere, Mapbox, Mapquest, Nominatim or and Photon. You can select your preferred geocoder in the [[options]]. There is no good or bad, each geocoder has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Their performance may vary in various regions and with various [[address format]] styles.

''Hint: if addresses are way off, move the map towards the approximate location.''
