I am getting hung up on post 6:8 of this thread. I have an approach that uses XLM and Google API but it has the draw back of limited number of requests per day and being hated by bryangoodrich.
Bryan can you tell me why RJSONIO is a better approach than XLM (I think both would work but I want the better choice)?
Because I've taxed my google API limit for the day I'm at a standstill. I plan on approaching it with the API but also want a better method without limits on daily grabs of geocoding as I get with Google API. I'd like to pursue the North American Locator method but am unsure of how to approach. With the RJSONIO method I'm not really sure what's going on in the code. I I was attempting something but get hung up on what addresses vs address is and loops and ahhhh
Any way here's my latest attempt. The problem lies in me not understanding the whole RJSONIO interface. Alright time for wings and football. By the way I'm from Buffalo so what the rest of you refer to as Buffalo wings we simply call wings
EDIT I have found out more about geocoding with RCurl & RJSONIO from good ol' Stack Overflow and wanted to share LINK Still a waiting game though because I've exceed Google APIs 2500 limit. I definitely want an alternative to Google API that works.

Code:
geocoded <- lapply(dat$locations, function(address) fromJSON(requestJSON(address))) Error in fromJSON(requestJSON(address)) :
error in evaluating the argument 'content' in selecting a method for function 'fromJSON': Error: could not find function "requestJSON"
