<p>
Geocode-glib provides <em>geocoding</em> and <em>reverse geocoding</em>.
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
