Google Map API

Being awefully found of google and all their free services (no beer) -- I set off to try their Google Map functionality. To my surprise it was really simple to interface it, even though I do not approve of writing coding in java script. Anyways, while working with the java script interface I found a need for a small server side library for handling information about lat/long positions, and so I wrote my tiny gmapi interface. All it does is given a location e.g. "Aarhus Denmark" it will return the lat/long position in a Google Maps readable format.
