Allows for the conversion between an address and geographical coordinates.
The example below shows how you can use this class find the top nine matches for the location
"Main St" in Colorado, add them to a map, and then embed it in a new Google Doc.
// Find the best matches for "Main St" in Colorado.
var response = Maps.newGeocoder()
// The latitudes and longitudes of southwest and northeast corners of Colorado, respectively.
.setBounds(36.998166, -109.045486, 41.001666,-102.052002)
.geocode('Main St');
// Create a Google Doc and map.
var doc = DocumentApp.create('My Map');
var map = Maps.newStaticMap();
// Add each result to the map and doc.
for (var i = 0; i < response.results.length && i < 9; i++) {
var result = response.results[i];
map.setMarkerStyle(null, null, i + 1);
map.addMarker(result.geometry.location.lat, result.geometry.location.lng);
doc.appendListItem(result.formatted_address);
}
// Add the finished map to the doc.
doc.appendImage(Utilities.newBlob(map.getMapImage(), 'image/png'));
