EPiServer.GoogleMapsLocation is a specialized property for a PageTypeBuilder PageType that allows you to save a Google Maps location. This version was based off the original source code from EPiCode, and updated for Google Maps API v3. This was developed and tested with EPiServer CMS 6 R2 and PageTypeBuilder 1.3.1.
The GoogleMapsLocation object has properties for the Latitude, Longitude, and Address (the address that was returned from the Google Maps geocoding service).
If you call ToString() on the object, the output string will be formatted with all of the object's information, formatted as Address (Latitude, Longitude).
There is also a Parse(string value) method that will turn a string, formatted as Address (Latitude, Longitude), into a GoogleMapsLocation object.
