Google have published their geocoding API, so one can make a simpler interface. My attempt is below - needs work (the map doesn't move when you enter an address), but you can either enter an address, click a map location, or pan the map and get the coordinates of the center. Plus JS would let you write the value directly into a Web form. http://caldav.triumf.ca/google.geo.html?49.2483,-123.2295 You need to sign up for a (free) licence to do this.
