For those unfamiliar, this free usage limit is much more relaxed than Google's Geocoder, which limits you to 2,500 free requests per day. https://developers.go

  Google's API is for a very different thing: it converts an address to a lat/long and vice-versa.

  Google offers three geocoders: The first[1] converts ip to location, and allows 100 free queries per day. The second[2] converts physical addresses to location as part of it maps JavaScript api, and is part of its 25,000 free requests/day. The third[3] is its http version of geocoding, which also converts physical addresses to locations or visa-versa. This api has the 2,500 req/day limit.

  Also note that Google's geocoder can only be used for results to be displayed on a Google map (mentioned in emptystacks's link, also section 10.1.1 (g): https://developers.google.com/maps/terms https://developers.google.com/maps/terms)
