Right. I had the code to parse the garage sales already.  But I had
written that before Google released an official API, and I never could
get my hacks to work. (I'm terrible at Javascript).

To make this work, I made a geocoder class which can use the (free)
geocoder.us service or use Google Maps' geocoding facility, or both.

All the code is on the mlug server in /home/markrages/lib/marpython/.
Feel free to have a look or adopt something.  Also I wrote a generic
caching facility so I don't have to do geocoder lookups for each page
load.

Regards,
Mark
