Question

I would just like to know how I can retrieve only the Latitude and Longitude points from an Address.

I dont want to view it on a map or anything similar.

I just need the co-ordinates, which will then be saved in my database for later use.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but I wish to get co-ordinates for South-Africa

Please, any help would be valued.

Hi,

Have you taken a look at the Google Maps API? I'm not 100% sure that what you want is possible with the API but it does seem to get rather close to it.

check: Google Maps API Web Services [^]

This link even has an example of how to get it done in C#: Google Maps API for .NET
[^]

Hope this helps.

Cheers, AT
