Can any one help me in getting the latitude and longitude value of the place? The place details must be gotten from the user as a input. The place detail can be ZIP code, city name, address, or state code.

So you essentially want the lat/lng for an address? – raidfive Sep 28 '11 at 07:41

So what have you tried? What has your research turned up? What did you find in the documentation? What have you done to attempt solving this problem yourself? – jscs Sep 28 '11 at 07:42

He user can give address or only cityname or only the state. for example he may give as 3198 GRATIOT BOULEVARD (or) MI (or) MARYSVILLE, MI – Malathi Sep 28 '11 at 07:44

One way I have used is to utilise the google maps API to return a lat/long for a given zip/postcode or city etc. Its normally quite good at dealing with different inputs.
Sadly I don’t have any C samples but could post up a VB.Net example if that helps

You need to geocode the address. Since Mapkit doesn't support geocoding (only reverse-geocoding) you'll have to use a web service to accomplish that. The are tons of web services for that. For example Google Geocoding
