It would be great for GIS maps if you could reverse geocode directly in Exploratory. Based on my understanding of the software, there is a simple function called `geocode()` in the [tidygeocoder](https://jessecambon.github.io/tidygeocoder/) package. Using the arcgis method, someone can simply use as much information for an address that they have and it will place the longitude and latitude into the dataset. I don’t believe the arcgis is limited by cap. For instance:

```auto
data <- data |>
  geocode(address = location, method = "arcgis", verbose = TRUE)

```
