Geo Coding for Australia

[Nick Skelton]

What is the best way to zoom to an address in NSW using QGIS v4 ?

I use to use the plugin called GeoCoding but it seems to no longer be usable.

Hi Nick, not sure if this functionality has changed at all in QGIS4, but in QGIS3 I usually use the locator bar for address search & zoom-to:

Cheers

This is a great handy hidden gem. I thought this little box in the very bottom left corner of the screen only searched within QGIS application but yes if you configure

in settings-nomination geocoded  then put "> " in front of the search it gets you to the street very fast. 

It does not appear to be a google maps search but is using some other geo coding

The locator bar is a gem indeed! Also great for searching your datasets. Changed my life :)
