This is just an improvement to the previous answers because it didn t work for me with some zipcodes even when in https   www google com maps it does  I fixed just adding the word  zipcode   before to put the zipcode  like this    x000D   x000D  function getLatLngByZipcode zipcode   x000D    x000D      var geocoder   new google maps Geocoder    x000D      var address   zipcode  x000D      geocoder geocode    address    zipcode   address    function  results  status    x000D          if  status    google maps GeocoderStatus OK    x000D              var latitude   results 0  geometry location lat    x000D              var longitude   results 0  geometry location lng    x000D              alert  Latitude      latitude     nLongitude      longitude   x000D            else   x000D              alert  Request failed    x000D            x000D          x000D      return  latitude  longitude   x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D
