Google Geocode API

Find latitude and longitude information for any location using the Google API.

Description

This is based on the idea of Scott Frasso. He created an example that allows you to geocode a location using the Yahoo API. This example uses the Goggle API to do the exact thing.

This example uses a developers API key which is in the m-file. For production purposes you will need to get your own. It can be obtained from:

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)
• Other requirements: Google API Key

The Google Geocoding API has a clause that requires that any latitude/longitude data cannot be used independently of a Google map. Does this affect use of this m-file?

Thank you for creating a tool with easy to follow instructions that simplifies the geocoding process for Matlab users.
