You might try Google Refine? This is also useful for converting addresses to LAT/LONG. You can then use Google Fusion tables to export that output straight into Google Maps. -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Roy Tennant Sent: Friday, 29 June 2012 5:04 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Storing lat / long Myself, I'd go with LAT,LONG. in decimal notation, with preceding plus or minus when appropriate.
