The Location Builder Module in Yahoo Pipes converts a description of a place into geographical data for further processing. It recognizes:
- Addresses
- Zip codes
- Airport codes
- City names
- Country names
- US cities
- State names
It outputs a location structure with separate fields for:
- City
- State
- Country
- Latitude
- Longitude
This module is very helpful for plotting locations on an interactive map.
In this example, lets use a Text Input Module to enter “Madison square garden”
…and see if the Location Builder Module can pick up any geodata for that location.
As you can see, the Location Builder Module picked it up and provided us with some detailed geodata It gave us the:
- Country
- Street
- Latitude
- Postal/zip code
- State
- Ciy
- Longitude
- Quality score
We can use this info to plot the point on an interactive map or use it for further processing.
