PowerMaps is an Office 2013 Excel add-in that uses Bing Maps to plot addresses and create a geographic map from data, and it seems to be a very easy way of geocoding addresses. I'm wondering if there's any way to access or export the longitude/latitude data it creates from the addresses.
This would be helpful for a number of reasons, such as:
- Easily correct bad addresses (e.g. run them through an address cleaning program; right now, I can only get Excel to display them in essentially a popup window)
- Decrease processing time (e.g. I could save out the long/lat so Excel doesn't have to re-geocode all of the addresses if I create another map)
- Use the geocoded data with other software
