Google’s geocoder in Europe

Published on April 2, 2007 in Geotech. Closed Tags: , , , , .

Has Google silently extended the geocoding service in Europe? Or did I just miss the announcement?

Until today I thought Google’s geocoder doesn’t cover Austria (and some other European countries too), but while trying the new XING features I was surprised to find Google maps based on address searches as well as driving directions within Vienna.

    Hey, Google’s geocoding API does indeed work for Austria now! I’m pretty sure there was no official announcement, so thanks for pointing that out! Grüße, Rainer

    You’re welcome! Any plans for the geocoder?

    Nothing concrete, yet. But it’s going to be something with mobile phones, of course ;-)

    Hi Christian!

    BTW, I found a ‘mobile’ use for the GeoCoder: http://rainersimon.wordpress.com/2007/04/14/fonfinder-is-progressing/. You probably won’t need it to find your way to the Badeschiff, though ;-)
    Greets, Rainer
