The q variable
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Amsterdam
returns
 "Point": {
      "coordinates": [ 4.8909347, 52.3738007, 0 ]
    }

very parsable according to chosen format. The mistake is that lat and
lon are inconsistently ordered so difficult to remember which is which
in the array.
To ease it, you can spec it
function name2geocode(name)
..return geocode
To avoid triple conflicts where same city name both appear many places
(Paris in Texas etc) and geography names both change and differ per
human language, preferred way I took was store coordinates then load
mapmarkers with kml to my thing (classifiedsmarket.appspot.com) rather
open source via montao.googlecode.com
