Studying Geolocation

Does anyone know of an example of code using Account's geolocation based on the billing address. I am finding several examples of applications mapping the account, but I am not finding a tool to populate the account's geolocation (longitude and latitude). Does anyone have any examples I can use?

 

Thanks,

Due to limits in google's api access (i.e. requests per second, total requests per day), google recommends you cache these values out.

 

I have written a schedulable class (see here) to run in the background. This is good for existing data and changes.

 

Scott @ internet creations wrote a trigger for this here.  This is good for coding new data as it comes in - as long as you aren't adding more than 2500 per day (which is the google limit ATM).
