Overview

About

Maintained by George ArthurFirst published 2026-07-231 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Cleans, geocodes, validates, reviews, and exports messy location address data supplied by the user. The package sits on top of 'tidygeocoder': it calls geocoding services, rejects implausible coordinates with configurable region guards, applies fallback name/address matching, joins points to optional local geography with 'sf', and records an audit trail showing how each coordinate was produced. Outputs are designed for manual review, dashboards, and reusable location crosswalks.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("locatr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-locatr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-locatr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
