How about trying Yahoo! Maps Web Services - Geocoding API
After obtaining the app id, with a get request like below
http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=YD-9G7bey8_JXxQP6rxl.fBFGgCdNjoDMACQA--&street=701+First+Ave&city=Sunnyvale&state=CA
You get a xml response like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ResultSet xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="urn:yahoo:maps"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:yahoo:maps
http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/GeocodeResponse.xsd">
<Result precision="address">
<Latitude>37.416384</Latitude>
<Longitude>-122.024853</Longitude>
<Address>701 FIRST AVE</Address>
<City>SUNNYVALE</City>
<State>CA</State>
<Zip>94089-1019</Zip>
<Country>US</Country>
</Result>
</ResultSet>

Have you looked at CLLocation?
