Get Latitude and Longitude from Location Address

Hello,

Is there a way in MATLAB which can help me in finding Latitude and Longitude of a place using Physical Address of a location.

For instance:Let say I want to find out GPS co-ordinates of MATHWORKS MICHIGAN office can I do so by providing its address which is: 39555 Orchard Hill Pl #280, Novi, MI 48375

I know of certain excel add-ins which use Google API key and help do the same.But is there a MATLAB script which can help me do so using Google MAPS API KEY.

Thanks in advance.

Vinayak - you could perhaps try using webread where the URL is formatted similar to what is found at Google Geocoding Dev Guide (since you mention that you have the Google Maps API Key). You could then parse the (json or xml) response from this call to get the latitude and longitude.
