Pinpoint turns a column of addresses into Latitude and Longitude columns, right inside Google Sheets™.

WHERE TO FIND IT AFTER INSTALLING
Pinpoint opens in the SIDE PANEL on the right of your spreadsheet, not in the Extensions menu.
Look for its icon in the narrow strip down the right edge; if that strip is hidden, click the
small arrow at the bottom-right corner to show it.

Pick the column that holds the addresses, check what the panel says will happen, press Geocode. That is
the whole flow.

WHAT YOU GET, FREE
• Addresses → coordinates, using the Google Maps™ geocoder built into Google Apps Script™.
• Two-pass search: a precise pass biased to your sheet's country, then a wider pass for what the first
  one missed. Anything the wider pass found is marked APPROX — never passed off as exact.
• Incremental by default: rows that already have coordinates are skipped, so a second run only geocodes
  the new rows. No more redoing the whole sheet.
• A dry run before anything is written: how many addresses will be geocoded, how many are skipped, and
  exactly which columns the results go to.
• Your data is never overwritten. Results go into three new columns — Latitude, Longitude and Geocode
  status — inserted next to your address column. Rows where those cells already contain your own text
  are left untouched and reported as such.
• Honest failures: an address Google cannot resolve is marked NOT_FOUND and can be retried with one
  button; a rate limit or an exhausted allowance stops the run and says so, instead of poisoning your
  rows with a wrong answer.
• A visible usage counter over the real 24-hour window, plus the first result shown on a map.

PRO — $29/year or $69 once, per user
• Your own Google Maps Platform API key: geocoding runs on your key, with no daily cap.
• Reverse geocoding: coordinates → the nearest address.
• Country bias and result language.
• One licence per add-on. The key you buy here unlocks Pro in Pinpoint, on up to three Google accounts. A team licence covers every add-on we publish, for a whole organisation.
The free features stay free forever, and if a licence lapses you simply drop back to them — never
locked out.

PERMISSIONS
One permission, and the narrowest one there is: "See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google
Sheets™ spreadsheet this application is used in". Pinpoint cannot see your other spreadsheets, your
Google Drive™ or your mail. No server of ours sees your data. If you have a Pro licence, the add-on asks our licence server (goingstellar.ro) once a day whether that key is still active — that request carries the licence key and a random identifier for the installation, and nothing from your file. Without a licence key it makes no network request at all. Geocoding is done by Google Apps
Script™'s built-in service, running as you. Nothing about you or your sheets is sent to us, and there is
no analytics. Details: https://legal.syncerp.work/pinpoint/privacy
