Addresses to Map: How to turn addresses into a map for location analysis
October 7, 2025
If you’ve worked with a list of addresses — customer locations, retail sites, or business assets — you know how hard it is to analyze them in a spreadsheet and how much information could be missing. Converting addresses into a map helps you understand your data better.
Aino maps your addresses in seconds — no need to code or use complex GIS mapping tools.
For real estate or business analysis, urban designers and architects mapping the data, like customer locations, competitors, POIs, gives you an understanding of the spatial relationships.

Visualizing and analyzing your data
Once your points are geocoded, you can analyze the data. You can add layers with data for deeper analysis, where a list of layers depends on your goal.
Add them by prompt like “ show cafes in 500 m buffer around /my Data”
