Google Geocoding Service – get latitude, longitude from address, postcode

Google has a very handy web service available for geocoding. Very often we require to know the longitude, latitude of a postcode, may be for finding distance between 2 places or any other reasons (who cares) and as always, Google is ready with the service before you realize you’ll need that . This is the beauty of google – they thinks ahead.
To use the service, at first, you need to get a google api key for your site which takes less than 30 seconds from here.

Following is the typical format of the request string to get geocoding information:

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=95678&output=json&oe=utf8&sensor=false&key=your_key_here

Description:

q = address that you are searching for, it can be anything from a postcode to any full or partial address. Google will search the best matching result for you.

output = this is the output format of the response. Can be json, xml, kml or csv. Isn’t it great?

oe = output encoding format. This is optional but strongly encouraged.

sensor = value can be either true or false. This indicates that whether the request is coming from any device with location sensor.

key = your google api key

There are lot other options to be added. You can find official documentation here

Following is a simple geocoding script I wrote in PHP to get the lat/long of a postcode (it can be any address format other than postcode). Ask me in comments if you want the script, I’ll mail it to you.
Open the app in new window
