Hello Doug,
Simply put, the command does the following:
1. Take a string representing a location as input (E.g. Ontario, Canada
or NW1 5BD)
2. Use the tinygeocoder service to produce a corresponding Geocode and
place it on your clip-board
3. The map is displayed purely for visual purposes and serves no other
use at the moment. And no, You dont need to have a good maps api key to use
it.
For me it was a learning exercise for using Jquery to submit requests to a
website and process the response :-)
>> var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
>> var latLng = geocoder.getLatLng(address, function(point) { } );

No, it cant be used that way. Like the built-in tinyurl command, this one
was built with the intention of letting people use the tinygeocoder without
visiting the website.
Depending on what you want to do, you may want to check out
CmdUtils.getGeoLocation()
