The PleiadesGeocoder provides a portal_geocoder tool. This tool uses the Yahoo geocoding API to find matches for Plone locations, and return spatial coordinates. The API gives you worldwide city-level geocoding precision and address-level precision for the United States.

Chances are you have locations in your site already. It's a standard Plone metadata field, and appears in your user personal preferences form. PleiadesGeocoder includes methods for geocoding site user locations and serializing information about users into KML for use with Google Earth, or GeoRSS for use with other services.
