I like the fact I can easily copy and paste from excel to batch geo! You can also save the map to your Home Screen on your iPhone for easy access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used to like how you could view a map on your browser immediately after creating. Now you have to go to your email and open it from there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
World-wide maps!!!! This is my favorite aspect of it. I can use it at work and home for all types of projects and I’m not always super adept an using technology, but BatchGeo has made it so easy even a novice like me can do it with no problems.
The ease of entry of data and the conversion to map is sensational. The whole set up and system is Super easy for poems of any skill level to use. The ability to navigate through the steps needed to create a batch is simple and the readability of the content and final geomap are huge pluses.
I also do like the reminders if a batch is going to expire but would prefer that they just stay active. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in gathering and compiling data in this visual spatial manner should give it a try. Overall, it I visually appealing, easy to explain to others and hits the mark on every criteria I needed for my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that I don’t like it that the maps expire and need to be renewed.
I have not found any real downsides to using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use BatchGeo to visualize where our church members live. I've done this for the full church membership, for small groups, and for age groups. I like the ability to batch upload data instead of having to enter each individual. I recently discovered the Cluster View and have found that really helpful to see where we can group, for example, young married adults geographically for home Bible studies. I'm also able to share maps with others and, in fact, I just shared BatchGeo with our Missions Pastor and he was excited about this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, the only thing that I've found that I dislike is the cost of the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I can upload my data in different formats. I also like that I can change the way the data is displayed without much effort. It is a software that is simple enough for beginners but technical enough to use in real life applications. In contrast to ARCGIS, and many other online mapping applications BatchGeo does not require a large background in mapping skills to make beautiful and user friendly maps.

Manipulating the source data once it is entered does not seem to be something I can do. I have found that I have to manipulate the original datasource and then reupload it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the app is easy to use, functional, allows to display most of the data in the map. Graphically is well done. I can analyze the routes to make my trips for visiting prospects more effective, not wasting time and lowering fuel costs.
i also like to have the info with me when i travel, can see it in a notebook for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
some addresses are not displayed, but not sure if the program fails, or not enought data for the app to understand. But most of the addresses i uploadede were acknowledged by the system.
no other comments that i dislike to mention here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to import large amounts of data and have it processed into a mapping tool that can be shared to collaborate with teams of people. It is user friendly and intuitive. There is virtually no learning curve and even those who are less than computer savvy can be taught to use it effectively. The link works on virtually any online platform which makes it flexible and adaptable to the various digital equipment that exists and ultimately available to help the people on the other end of the line who are supporting our business ventures. I would recommend BatchGeo to anyone who needs to map numerous locations. I truly believe it would help catapult businesses who coordinate hundreds, and even thousands, of mapping data points into the 21st century business world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have nothing about this tool I dislike. I cannot think of any improvements that would make this tool more attractive for businesses that need a mapping tool for large amounts of data. If anything, I would always appreciate a price reduction for tools of this nature as costs continue to rise in every industry, cutting into profits in such difficult times.

It is super easy to upload data and get them mapped. Embedding the maps is also easy and pain free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is quite pricey for what you get - not much in the way of extra functionality. For example it would be good to be able to show what products each distributor on the map stocks. Or if you could focus on certain areas onload or if you could highlight certain distributors over others. The addresses listed below the maps could be better positioned - perhaps dynamic so they appear next to the map when you search a certain area or postcode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to add locations from a spreadsheet with address data automatically located on a map. The ability to calculate distance and color code based on attribute is nice. I like that maps can be shared through a link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be nice to have a clean image export of the map and pins. Would also like to have a way to find distance from closest reference point - say there are three reference locations and I want to know how far every other location is to their closest reference location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been happy to use the upload options to quickly upload and map several locations. The options to group and color code various pins and review the map in that way is also helpful. And a lot of ability to narrow down the data fields and select the right ones for the information needed to map. That is much more user friendly than other mapping software that requires the data in a very specific format and requires more upfront data manipulation. With BatchGeo, I can upload the source data and then select which fields should be used/ignored Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes an error mapping drops the pin in the center of the zip code without a notification that the location wasn't properly mapped. Alternatively, some pins will drop on the other side of the globe despite the zip code being present in the data upload, again, there is not a notification of the error when these are improperly mapped.

The cut and paste ease of entering data. Allowing users to be able to bring data in from existing spreadsheets has made a world of difference in the ease of using BatchGeo. Our project location maps for the state board of education looked professional and took minimal staff time and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Free version has some limitations on grouping. The overall interface is moderately intuitive and only took me about 2 hours to work with my data within the BatchGeo platform to get the map that we wanted with site groupings and differentiated regional groups by color.

It is very easy to use! In view minutes you can create a complete map that shows places and details. I liked all the features, in a short time I was able to prepare a map with relevant point and share it with a lot of people. Everyone was satisfied by the map that I gave to them. I was also able to work with a team sharing info and creating a complete excel that we uploaded on the platform to have a complete map for our project. Moreover we were able to modify the map even after the import so we have changed colors and other features to make te map easier to read by the customers. We had a lot of details for every place but batchgeo was great and on every pin on the map the people were able to see all the information that day need to know. So the tool have done exactly what we needed, starting from an excel easy to prepare. We are happy to have found a tool like Batchgeo and we will use it again in the next projects.

It is quite perfect, I think that the layout of the platform could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like that you could create maps with lots of information that can be organized and filtered and then shared. I liked how I could give them lots of fields and be able to have that information on each pin and that I could group pins and turn groups on and off so I could find drill down to the specific information that I needed or that my representatives could get to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found the limits on the free version to be too much for me. I had to keep breaking up my maps and that became cumbersome. I also did not like that sometimes I had to reinput the data and start back over after customizing so much. This may have been a feature in the paid version, but I didn't explore that. I found that Google Maps has a way to get more information into it. I think the limit is 2000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BatchGEO makes it super easy to import data, just copy and paste, to create maps. You can fully customize the map features and data labels. You can even have the coder calculate straight line distances from your starting point, which is super helpful for my job. You can also bucket addresses into groups and customize different color markers for each group. It geocodes fast and sends the map link right to your email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are limits on the amount of data you can import, that may only be for the free version though. It will also occasionally misplace an address, but that's usually due to an issue with the address name not matching google maps. It usually does a pretty good job finding it even if it doesn't match perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BatchGeo makes it very easy for us to easily see service locations in a city or neighborhood for my service company. This has helped us make our service routes more efficient. It also helps target our marketing and helps us see where we can focus efforts to grow routes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue we have ran into is a few of our locations can't be found. I think some of those are on really new streets and others may be from errors with the data we are trying to import. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a real estate firm, we used to use Microsoft MapPoint which was great software however over time it has become outdated and is no longer in use. The ability to quickly upload large amounts of data and have Batchgeo correctly parse it and map it out has been invaluable. One of the biggest differences with BatchGeo vs. the products we previously used is the ease of which we can share data with others. No more proprietary software or file formats. Anyone can easily access the data and the ease of use from the backend standpoint is also great.BatchGeo recently updated their pricing tiers which are awesome! BatchGeos support has also been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While it's certainly not a deal-breaker it would be great to be able to use other map sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having used BatchGeo for over a decade it's continued to improve the ease of use and depth of data diving. I enjoy putting complete Excel tables into the mapper and then seeing the data in a geographical space. I've used this tool to plan marketing and sales strategies, to improve our transportation routes, to assist with scheduling so we group projects together using heat maps, and also sharing with others who need access to the information in the dimension of geo-targeting.

I haven't had significant issues using the tool. The maps do expire after a period of time which sometimes I wish they wouldn't, but I've just regenerated the map using the same data table as a work around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It´s is very intuitive. Don’t need any background or programming skills. Once you in, you are ready to star plotting.
I started using the free service. It worked well and gave me confidence to make the investment for the payed solution. By the way, while searching for similar solitons I found this to be by far the best price at any level of usage, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some massive geocode addresses get some pins wrong, because most of the time we don´t have the perfect data to plot, but when it happens it´s takes a bit to get them to the right place.
You can drag and drop the pin or try to introduce the data once more. The problem is that this kind of action consume the usage you have payed. It doesn’t seem really fair to pay for rework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CAPABILITIES: The service has nearly all of what I need at its core.
- ability to visually show categorized locations on a map
- map pins have mouse-over ability where I can see various tags for each location Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The site could benefit by integrating a communication feature. In other words, lasso a group of pins and then "right-click" to allow an email to be generated to those pins selected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
