<title>Geocode-glib</title>

    Geocode-glib provides geocoding and reverse geocoding.

    Geocoding is the process of translating an address ("123 High Street,

    SomeTown, SomeCountry") to a pair of latitude/longitude values.  Reverse

    geocoding is the opposite process.

    Geocode-glib uses the Yahoo! Place Finder API internally to

    do its work.  In the future it will support the free Nominatim

    service and OpenStreetMap data.
