CV is used to geocode the list of Washington Post (May 2009) top 200 businesses in the Washington, DC area.  The CV FindAddress[batch] is an ideal tool for this task. The list of addresses is simply placed into a text file. The resulting geocoded file is a shapefile that can be added as a layer (to a CV project) enabling viewing the locations on a map.  Partial list example:

The FindAddress[batch] is started and the text file name supplied.  The rest is automatic; a shapefile is created.

The resulting shapefile is added to a project (used to display next view).

Illustrates using a different marker style -- symbol (font symbol) instead of circle for top 200 locations.

White House polygon shown  with orange fill pattern.

Walmart: blue box marker; Walgreens: red circle marker.  Store locations geocoded using CV then resulting shapefiles added as layers.
