During the last couple of years, the map API from Google has been quite dominant as the prefered map source of many websites.
However there are other alternatives that offers free online maps.
In this post we’ll take a closer look at the possibilities with Bing Maps from Microsoft.
There are several high quality map services available on the web. However if you want to use some of these services for your website, you’ll need lat/long coordinates on the geographical data that you wish to display.
I you only have a few addresses to display, you can look the coordinates up on services like Google Maps or Bing maps, but if you have to get lat/long coordinates for several addresses, you need a geocoder to convert the addresses to lat/long coordinates.
In this post you’ll learn to build a php script that can geocode addresses with Google Maps API
