Find latitude and longitude of address with GeoCoder Object
Locate map coordinates from street address and add latitude/longitude coordinates to the records in your database using your custom programs or Web site. Pass a ZIP + 4® code to this API and it returns the latitude & longitude coordinates along with the census tract data and block boundary. Not only can you find coordinates of an address, you can use the tract and block numbers to link to Census Bureau demographic data.

Delphi, C, C+ +, Visual FoxPro, Oracle, Power Builder, Visual Basic, J Script, VB Script, and more.
