Where is [address] to insert the string with the address you want to transform coordinates. The output returned is of type:
200, 8, 41.9128300, 12.2241172
The first value, 200 , indicates that everything went well ( 200 OK ). The second, 8 , Google is the accuracy parameter (1-10). The last two values are, finally, latitude and longitude.

Our app uses this exact approach.
One warning, though. Google has officially deprecated the above method. We're supposed to use the newer Javascript approach. I think that rots, because the method you outlined is simple, clean, and only takes a few lines to implement.
Check out this password generator app that shows various techniques including using a data container singleton object to share data between objects in your project.

Yahoo's PlaceFinder is accessible via the net. They give you 50,000 per day for free, and you can submit a request to do even more. Beats the heck out of the more commercial services.
Unfortunately for me, my current project involves 4 million + addresses to geocode, and so not having thousands of dollars for budget, I'm putting together a library to do it. Mine won't be the only library on the 'net, but I wasn't all that happy with the others I found. I wanted something I could inline, for one - not Perl scripts and such.
For anyone who's interested in this - drop me a PM with your email and I'll keep you posted on progress. The lib will be free and unencumbered, and uses free and unencumbered resources (yeah Census Bureau!), and I'll be more than happy for some victims^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hbeta testers
