or Google Maps Geocoding API
Thanks Greg_Deckler. It's a little byzantine to figure out the pricing. We're non-standard in that we won't be attached to a map (powerbi can do that with an address) rather we're creating distances between points for slicers to go into a commercial application. 1MM geo codes can be expensive and hence the question.
I was imagining I could use an opensourced service for the big push, then a bing like service for the quarterly changes...(which are modest). Have you ever deciphered pricing for one time big jobs using bing? I'd like to keep things in the "family" if possible.
Tom

Greg_Deckler Thanks! Should have marked this as the answer quicker. As always, I'm in your debt---Tom
