Geocoding or assignment of geographic coordinates to addresses is increasingly required in public health research. However, the use of the street pattern in automated geocoding systems is difficult when addresses are based on the name of the human settlement, block and lot, as is often the case in Peru. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to estimate the accuracy of manual address geocoding, using georeferencing by global positioning system as a reference. The HOPE project provided the addresses of 233 beneficiaries residents of the Mi Perú district. The manual geocoding was carried out using Google Maps, Geodir and the 2016 district map, achieving geocoding in 82.83% of the addresses. We found that an incomplete geometry of the cartography; as well as, an incorrect registration of the addresses, lead to the inaccuracy of the geocoding. The average time to geocode an address at the block level (1 minute and 25 seconds) was 17 times shorter than that required to georeference it (25 minutes). Manual geocoding is more time- and cost-effective than georeferencing, and it offers an adequate accuracy in contexts such as that of urban-marginal areas of Peru.
