RE: Convert Address to Latitude/Longitude
Yeah. I looked at it a bit more and discovered he's probably just posting in the "link to this location" method (i.e.?1234+main+street,+city+zip). Then source scraping the lon+lat out. Not nearly as exciting as I had hoped and definitely against Google's terms of use. I was hoping for another API discovery. Still worth trying I guess if you're not running a batch and just doing the occasional map point. I'm more interested in real-time lookups since the data seems to be getting more and more precise. When they first launched Google Maps my house was shown at the beginning of my street and now it's at the very end where it's supposed to be. -e -Original Message- From: Paul Hastings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 9:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Convert Address to Latitude/Longitude Emmet McGovern wrote: > This site claims to hack the geocode out of googles API.

RE: Convert Address to Latitude/Longitude
If it's just by zipcode alone. Were currently working on a MLS mapping project that uses specific addresses and you definitely need the census data for that. If you are just interested in zipcode functionality be sure to take into consideration the need for 10 digit vs 5. The last locator app we wrote wasn't as accurate as it could have been since it was based on 5 digit database. I was actually planning on posting some simple 5 digit locator code this weekend. Message me offlist if that's all you need.
