Command-line tool to get the latitude and longitude for a query string from Google
There is no magic here. This script depends entirely on the
fact that Google Maps results can be formatted as XML. If, like
plain vanilla queries, this feature is removed from the public
domain this program will stop working.
There really is no magic, here. It just seemed like one of
those things that people like so I figured I would release
it.
Two minutes to write; three minutes to add error handling
(Google is sending ISO-8859-1 encoded results without specifying
this in the XML declaration); fifteen minutes to package. Go
figure.
