Other reasons for using the geocoding include storing the zip code, lat, and long of the location so I can send updates to people when one is near by them. So if there is an event going on a certain day in your zip code, I can send you an email saying hey this is going on today...
Lat/Long can also be used to compute distance... All of this has to be automated, obviously.
