Re: Get latitude/longitude from address for free

Haven't needed this ability in bulk for several years. But shortly I will
have use for geocoding ~300 addresses. The web service(s) I used several
years (with lots of help from Doug Handy several times!) are no longer
working/available.

This is essentially a one-time need in bulk. In a normal month we'll need
5 or 6 done and just do it by googling.

It would be great if SQL had something like this to embed in RPG (excuse if
the syntax is off):

Select Latitude, Longitude Into :lat, :long From https://geocodeforfree
Where Address = :address

but that ain't gonna happen.

Thanks.
