I have been using the GMLib for Google Maps operations for some years now without any problems and have made some interesting things if I must say so. But now I am working on another project where I have a full address and needs to geocode that, but I don't need to show it on a map since I just need the latitude and longitude to calculate a QRA locator (it is a system of map grids used by HAM operators all over the world)
I think I could speed up the process by not using a map since it takes time to load every time.
Are there any components or libraries that could help me or isn't it possible to do at all.
