Re: [WISPA] Addresses -> Lat long?

2007-01-23 Thread Sam Tetherow
I've had good luck with Yahoo's Maps service. You have to signup to get 
an app id. The API is really simple. Here is a modified chunk of code 
from my Dept of Health and Human Services/Google Map mashup for showing 
licensed daycare centers in a town.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
use XML::Simple;
use CGI::Simple;

my $location="107 W 2nd Street, Valentine, NE 69201";
my $q=new CGI::Simple;
my $safe_loc=$q->url_encode($location);
my 
$geocode_url="http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=$APP_ID&location=$safe";);

my $ua=LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response=$ua->get($geocode_url);
if ($response->is_error) {
die $response->status_line;
}
my $xml=XMLin($response->content());
print "$xml->{'Result'}->{'Latitude'}, $xml->{'Result'}->{'Longitude'}\n";

Anyone have a way to convert mass addresses into lat / long numbers ?

I have a spreadsheet of locations for a customer that I'd like to map in
Radio Mobile, and obviously need to do it via Lat/Long.

Very nice, I've been looking for this. Is there any that you can do 
batches of addresses?

If you have Microsoft MapPoint you can convert this way.

Open/Import your Excel address spreadsheet inside MapPoint.

However, I seem to remember having an issue of getting the lat/long back
out. I believe that there was some freeware utility to extract the MapPoint
data back out of MapPoint. 


Thank you
