<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi All,<BR><BR>i work with Squeak and Seaside
2.8.<BR><BR>In my application i have integrate a Google StaticMap support
from squeakSource GoogleStaticMaps.<BR><BR>Now i'm interested, when the user
create a new address, to define and save the relative geographic
coordinates.<BR><BR>In the Google documentation i read: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
face=Arial><BR>***********************************************************************************<BR><BR>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.
The Google Maps API Geocoding Service provides a direct way to access a geocoder
via an HTTP request.<BR><BR>Note: the geocoding service may only be used in
conjunction with displaying results on a Google map; geocoding results without
displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage,
consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.<BR><BR>Geocoding
Requests<BR>You may access the Google Maps API Geocoding Service directly over
HTTP. To access the geocoder, send a request to <A
href="http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?">http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?</A>
with the following parameters in the URL: <BR><BR> a.. q (required) - The
address that you want to geocode. <BR> b.. key (required) - Your API key.
<BR> c.. sensor (required) - Indicates whether or not the geocoding
request comes from a device with a location sensor. This value must be either
true or false. (Note that devices with sensors generally perform their own
geocoding by definition; therefore, most geocoding requests to the Maps API
Geocoding service should set sensor to false.) <BR> d.. output (required)
- The format in which the output should be generated. The options are xml, kml,
csv, or (default) json. (For more information, see Geocoding Responses below.)
<BR> e.. oe (optional but strongly encouraged) - The output encoding
format of the response. It is recommended that you set this output encoding
explicitly to utf8 unless you have specific requirements to handle other
encoding types. <BR> f.. ll (optional) - The {latitude,longitude} of the
viewport center expressed as a comma-separated string (e.g.
"ll=40.479581,-117.773438" ). This parameter only has meaning if the spn
parameter is also passed to the geocoder. (For more information see Viewport
Biasing below.) <BR> g.. spn (optional) - The "span" of the viewport
expressed as a comma-separated string of {latitude,longitude} (e.g.
"spn=11.1873,22.5" ). This parameter only has meaning if the ll parameter is
also passed to the geocoder. (For more information see Viewport Biasing below.)
<BR> h.. gl (optional) - The country code, specified as a ccTLD
("top-level domain") two-character value. (For more information see Country Code
Biasing below.) <BR>Note: The gl and spn,ll viewport parameters will only
influence, not fully restrict, results from the geocoder.<BR><BR>In this
example, we request the geographic coordinates of Google's
headquarters:<BR><BR><A
