On the iPhone I just used the built in Core Location data to grab the
Latitude and Longitude.
I also use the YahooMaps API to get the same information from an address.
I couldn't find it from the GoogleMaps API but it was pretty straight
forward to get it from YahooMaps API once I registered and got a key.  It
is the Web services API that I used.
Then, using the XML parser I could get the information I needed.  On the
iPhone without the XML parser available, it was pretty easy to filter the
returned data to get what I wanted.
