title: Get Coordinates for given Location
body: <p>OK, here's what I want to implement and I need your ideas :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Input a geo location by name/address/etc (e.g. <code>London, Oxford Street 20</code>)</li>
  <li>Get the point's <strong>longitude/latitude</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>My Questions :</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>How would you go about that?</li>
  <li>Is using <em>Google Maps API</em> (that's what I first thought of) my only solution?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>It'd be better if the service used CAN be freely integrated in a commercial app - so any idea is welcome... :-)</em></p>
