You will provide a form for the user to enter an address, city, state, and ZIP code. This information will be passed to the Google Geocoding API, which will convert the address to the latitude and longitude coordinates. You will want to study the Google Geocoding API to understand the data format requirements and think about how you will have to massage the form data to meet the API requirements. The latitude and longitude coordinates will then be passed to the Google Maps API, and you will display the map for the location in three different formats
