Hi I have lots of adresses. But I want to get their coordinates using
google maps locator function. I'm looking for a web service like XML
APIs.

I'm currently using GeoNames (http://www.geonames.org/ ) to get
coordinates of a location. But it only supports exact locations and
doesn't allow misspellings etc. It finds locations like
-New York
-Cambridgeshire
-Boston, USA
-Yarraville, VIC, Australia
-...

But it can not find coordinates of these formats:
-Boulder, CO 80304, USA (originally Boulder, Colorado, US)
-St Ives, Cambs, UK (originally it is Saint Ives, Cambridgeshire, UK)
-...

I mean, GeoNames is not a good solution for exact addresses and I
don't want to use it anymore. But Google Maps is very successful on
location these addresses. It works really very well. I have thousands
of addresses and I can't locate them manually. Does Google Maps API
has a property to get coordinates with XMLHTTP protocol?

I mean an api like http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=New+York
Does it available for Google Maps?

Thanks.
