R tool help - address conversion

[cmcclellan]

I'm trying to convert an address to lat/long co-ordinates so I can show the address on a map.

But I don't know enough R to make it work.

This must be done in R please :)

Hi @cmcclellan,

I'm not much of an R guy either, but when I try to run your routine it says it's missing the function "geocodeNominatim". After trying to install nominatim I get the error that the version of R is not compatible with that package. I'm not sure how to resolve that!

Regards,

Ben

I'm using 2023.2 so the function seems to be valid, but I get this ...
