Google Maps geocoder adds support for UK

api | geocoding | google | graticule July 07 2007

Good news for the Brits: UK Geocoding Now Available in the Maps API. This means that the Google geocoder in Graticule should now work in the UK. I’m interested to hear how well it works from anyone using it.

  1. Been playing with it quickly on my lunch break and it seems fairly solid so far. Had attempted to integrate a_a_g and graticule into a project i’m working on last week and gave up due to the lack of a good, free geocoding service – the timing with this couldn’t have been better!

  2. I really want to know whether its permitted to use the API to get a long/lat position from a UK postcode on a website registration form. In the terms and conditions it says something about batch processing… but is this something different? thank!

  3. Anthony: I can’t say for certain, but doing a lookup as users access your site shouldn’t be considered “batch processing” and within the terms and conditions.
