Google Maps API - translate address to longitude/latitude
I want a service that translates and address to longitude/latitude. We own Google Maps API for Business, but I'm not sure this is what I want.
I want need longitude/latitude values and then will store these into a SQL database as a geography data type. I can then use SQL to determine distances between points.

You can use the google geoencode api to translate your address.

i gather the addresses are stored in a ms sql database ?
would this be a set amount of addresses or would you need to translate added one as well ?
Are you in the uk ?
Here is a list of all Postcodes with Long\Lat in a csv
UK Postcodes
if you are in the uk you could just import this into your sql table and join on the postcode :)
