Google Maps Geocoder

Google Maps Geocoder via Aemkei at Sumaato Blog

The web-savvy location scout needing to create a means of including a searchable map with the ability to geocode locations will need a Google Maps API Key and the code contained on the Google Maps Geocoder page.

I have customized the code to center the map on Columbus Circle, New York City, NY and customized the map size. I have also embedded it in this post using an iframe (thanks Rudin). The page that has been embedded can be seen here.

This is really just a starting point for working with Google Maps, there are many more hacks and features that can be added to a map which I will report as I learn how to implement them!

Just change the address in the box to an address for which you would like to know the map location and hit the GO button.

Google Maps will give you the geocoded address (if it is in their quite massive database).
