Geocoding in Simple GIS Client Has Never Been Easier!
Easily Map Single or Multiple Addresses. Get your no hassle free trial today! (Requires Windows 7(64 bit) or later)
I was eager to try your new Geocoding Template in SimpleGIS 14. My current Gold Standard is the annual slice of the FCC Amateur Radio Service database. Licensees enter their own address (generating some errors of spelling, etc.), it's over 750,000 and growing about 1.5% per year, and it is not unlike other large DBs from clients. So, I immediately used that to test the capabilities of your new downloadable street DB and template.
I'm very proud to report this:
756,734 records from FCC...matched 701,430
92.69% match rate at 95% confidence setting
About 3 hours...faster and equal or better results than ArcGIS Geocoder!
This set of results....performed twice just for kicks...meets the industry standard ESRI product! I am delighted that I now have a standalone geocoder that, on the margin after the purchase of SimpleGIS, is free instead of a per-record or segmented record limit.

Have data in Excel or CSV files? Use the batch geocoding tool in Simple GIS Client or the Address Mapping Project Template to map these points. You can also take a list of zip codes, county names, or state names and map to these boundaries. Simple GIS Client is powerful geocoding software and allows unlimited geocoding to map street addresses.
Connect to on-board or externally connect GPS devices that support the NMEA 0183 protocol or Windows 10 sensor platform. Create multi-stop routes, track your GPS location in the field or use the turn by turn navigation support. Can also record your position as GPS breadcrumbs as well as read and write GPX files.
Simple GIS Client supports thematic mapping and is a fully functional GIS mapping software. Easily add multiple layers, each with it's own custom legend and symbology. Locate & download data using the built in data wizards. Use Simple GIS Plugins for additional features such as Territory Mapping or publishing Web Mapping Applications
Easily create attribute or spatial queries. Perform buffer analysis, drive time analysis, or create calculated fields. Also contains built in data wizards for downloading and analyzing data from the US Census Bureau, USGS Department, or ©OpenStreetMap.
Geo-reference Imagery, create shaded relief imagery from elevation data, generate heat maps, or elevation profiles from elevation data. All of this can be easily accomplish in Simple GIS Client
Easily create and edit shapefiles. Simple GIS supports vertex editing and snapping as well as advanced editing functions such as clipping, line trim, polygon split, node move, and more! Simple GIS Client even allows you to design your own data entry forms with no coding!
With Simple GIS, users can easily locate single street addresses or multiple addresses in a batch geocoding operation and is one of the most inexpensive GIS software solutions available (See Pricing). Simple GIS Client is integrated out of the box with the freely available US Census Geocoder Service, so users can quickly map their addresses with little or no setup. In addition, Simple GIS offers a free Geocode database for US street addresses that users can download for free to their local machine. With this local geocode database, users can batchgeocode thousands or even hundred thousands of records. In addition, Simple GIS allows users to create their own geocoding database for offline use if they wish. Simple GIS can even combine several data sources into a single geocoding database. Simple GIS allows you to easily create a shapefile from a csv, Excel spreadsheet, or other database table containing street addresses for viewing on a map. Even customize the symbology for your address points as well as display your addresses on your choice of background base map. But Simple GIS is much more than just a geocoder for visualizing your addresses on a map. With Simple GIS, users can conduct powerful data analysis, produce professional maps, and even combine with other freely available data using the built in data wizards for ©OpenStreetMap, US Census, or USGS data. Need to share projects or data with colleagues or team members? Then check out our new Simple GIS Collaborate plugin extension for Simple GIS Client.

I'll continue to recommend SimpleGIS over ESRI, even for the personal license of $100 over the latter. Their product has now gotten very complicated to install for all but the most experienced user, IMHO. Your's is just, well, simple!
