Nyall, Again thanks for your reply. I have upgraded to 3.18 version and was able to install google maps geocoder in zipped version. At the time of installation, it asked me to enter the api key. I did enter but that did not make any difference. I tried to run the tool as shown below. I got the temporary layer as shown in the table below. But that did not plot any points on the map. It just produced a table. As I gave in my previous email, the csv file's address column has only street number and street name. The city name and state names are in separate columns. I am not sure how the tool will correctly geocode just by choosing the address column. Please guide me. [image: image.png]
