Earlier this Google delivered a cease and desist letter to the developer of a popular Android ROM, Cyanogen.

It seems like the developer community at large has reacted with a very strong knee jerk reaction claiming the end for Google, and claiming that Google has become Apple. I can understand the reaction to the situation, but I don't think it is really appropriate or fair. Google has made a significant contributions to the Open Source world with Android. They also work to foster the developer community via Summer of Code.

A while back I had a client who needed to do a short run geocoding job, just a couple hundred address from an excel sheet. I could not find a free short run geocoding service, so I wrote a geocoder module. It utilizes google's maps api, and accepts input as a single line or a csv file.

Feel free to register an account to test out the bulk geocoder, it is currently limited to 200 addresses at a time. The single address geocoder will be available for anonymous use until someone starts abusing it. :)
