Geocode¶

Geolocation service from Google Maps API. Define a geocode method for resolving a location from a string.

Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like “1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA”) into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which you can use to place markers or position the map.

Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates into a human-readable address.

Forms¶

[lato, lono] = geocode(addr)

[lato, lono, xml] = geocode(addr)

Examples¶

Usages:

>> [lat, lon] = geocode('new york,ny')
lat = 40.714
lon = -74.006
>> [lat, lon] = geocode('brasilia,df')
lat = -15.827
lon = -47.922
