Geolocation class – retrieving longitude and latitude using google maps
A while ago I had to prepare a map for a customer. He wanted to be able to use text files with addresses and display them on the map. To be able to do that I had to find a service, which will convert a regular address into geographical longitude and latitude. What would be better than google maps to do that really simple task? I researched a little bit on google and found a really nice way, how to accomplish that.
