[R-sig-Geo] package to query Google for latitude and longitude for a given ZIP code

[Guy Serbin]

Hi,

The data you are looking for could likely come from www.geodata.gov

I am guessing this would be the same set that Google uses, but since
it's from the Federal Government you wouldn't be in violation of any
terms of service.

Best regards,
Guy
