Description

I am using the geocode_OSM function from tmaptools in r to geocode about 400,000 addresses in a county in NC. I added " ,NC, USA" to addresses and geocoded the new addresses. Now they are all in NC, but I need to limit them within a county. I cannot use a city name, because addresses are in multiple cities in a county. Please let me know if there is any argument that can be added to the function to limit coordinates/addresses to a specific boundary. Thank you.

Research direction

Start with the geocode_OSM documentation and implementation in tmaptools; the issue names no source file or test. Determine whether county-level restriction is supported and identify the existing boundary or filtering entry point. Done should be a clearly defined way to constrain geocoding results to a specified county, with its behavior documented and verified.
