title: Google Maps API v3 - Get map by address ?
body: <p>i am new to google maps,
  and i would like to integrate it into my website ( Yellow pages kind of site ).</p>
  
  <p>i currently have the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
      &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
          $(document).ready(function () {
              var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
              var myOptions = { zoom: 8, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP };
              var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); 
          }); 
      &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px; position: relative; background-color: rgb(229, 227, 223);"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code does work, and showing me the map for the specific Lat/Long</p>
  
  <p>but, i want to be able to specifiy an address and not lat/long params,
  since i do have the addresses of the companies in the phonebook, but do not have the lat/long values.</p>
  
  <p>i tried searching for this, but i only found something similar on the V2 version, which was deprecated.</p>
