I need to get the lat/long of an address.

Here are my questions....

2) How do i get the lat/long of an address?
a) I have the address lookup working ok - using a push pin - but i would like to get the coords of the push pin

Re: Getting the lat/long from an address

I'd suggest geocoding the address to create a location then use the location to derive the Lat/Long ising this code:

I've used it and it's a slick solution.
