Yeah. I looked at it a bit more and discovered he's probably just posting in the "link to this location" method (i.e.?1234+main+street,+city+zip). Then source scraping the lon+lat out. Not nearly as exciting as I had hoped and definitely against Google's terms of use. I was hoping for another API discovery.
Still worth trying I guess if you're not running a batch and just doing the occasional map point. I'm more interested in real-time lookups since the data seems to be getting more and more precise. When they first launched Google Maps my house was shown at the beginning of my street and now it's at the very end where it's supposed to be. -e -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hastings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 9:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Convert Address to Latitude/Longitude Emmet McGovern wrote: > This site claims to hack the geocode out of googles API.
