I am looking to gecode some address information (convert addresses to lon/lat pairs). I found the geodcode function in GMT.jl, and it looks simple enough. But, is it possible to avoid sending the addresses to a web service and download an OpenStreetMap dataset for a region and use that file instead? …

Sorry, don’t understand the question. Yes the GMT’s geocoder uses a free web service with an access provided via GDAL and you cannot use it without that service. I also don’t understand the reference to OpenStreetMap. It’s not used at all.

Possible to geocode from file using GMT?
