/geocode : An api to convert address to lat long

This API helps you convert any address into GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude). It’s perfect if you’re building apps or tools that need to show maps, calculate distances, or tag locations.

Just send an address like:

1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA

…and you’ll get back:

• The exact location name (if available)
