This free web app is a batch geocoder retrieving latitude and longitude of multiple adresses, using OpenStreetMap (OSM).
However, It will only geocode if your input fully matches underlying OSM database entries. OSM does not provide "spelling correction" like Google Maps. So, omitting city may increase the number of records getting geocoded (for example, a city name containing foreign characters).
ALTERNATIVES
Download geocoding files from www.geonames.org, import data into Excel, and VLOOKUP latitudes/longitudes.
Use Batch Geocoder: extremely fast, including "spelling correction" (Google Maps API based, fee applicable).

READY
To save results manually: go to the output text area and select all data (CTRL-A), then copy (CTRL-C) and paste (CTRL-V) into e.g. your MS Excel file.
To geocode another batch: refresh page (F5) after saving your results first!
YOUR INPUT - semicolon separated or tab separated Record_number;City;Postal_code;Street_name_and_number;Country*
* You may specify country and postal code only, or leave out street number. But the more correct address data provided, the more accurate the geocodes will be.
