[tlug] Google Maps API



TLUG,

At risk of wandering a little off topic, has anyone used the Google Maps API?

http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2006/06/geocoding-at-last.html

I'm wondering if it has a way I can exploit it's location data so I can take user input in the form of the word "Tokyo", and get back a latitude and longitude coordinate to store in my database.

The technical details on the web site leave me a little confused.

Anyone done anything like this before?
