Nokia HERE map/geocoding UI. Lots of features, good developer documentation.

Thanks for that, but in truth, I don't want lots of features - I want to send a piece of text to a URI and get back a string from which I can pick out the lat/long. And you've given me no indication of how to find what you're recommending, apart simply from searching for the text "Nokia here map/geocoding". Is that what I should do to find it? Added in edit ... So now I've done that search and found a description. Based on your recommendation I decided to try it, so I clicked on the link on how to get my API credentials, and I got this: 404 Not Found Code: NoSuchKey Message: The specified key does not exist. Key: docs/maps_js/topics/credentials.html RequestId: 92390AF64837E443 HostId: <omitted> An Error Occurred While Attempting to Retrieve a Custom Error Document Code: NoSuchKey Message: The specified key does not exist. Key: /error.html This seems typical - things just don't work.

  Sorry, I don't have my code/notes with me, but I wanted to put the link out there. Nokia has tons of developer resources so it can be hard to find what you need. I will try to remember to post more later, but for now here is a basic geocoding example: http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/HERE_Maps_API_-_Using_the_geocoding_service http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/HERE_Maps_API_-_Us...

    Sorry I'm so grumpy, but I'm getting various suggestions from various places, and my experiences are, to say the least, unhappy ones. This is a typical example. All looks well, then you follow a link to start using it, and you get a 404, or an access denied, or some other message that just brings you to a dead stop. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll return to it later and see if it's been fixed.
