title: Does Google Have a Geo IP Service?
body: <p>Does Google have an API to do geocoding from ip address to latitude longitude?  Similar to MaxMind. I have looked into their places api:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/places/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have used Maxmind with success, </p>

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But does Google offer ip to lat long services?</p>
