  • Input: 北京天安门 (Simplified Chinese)
• /googlemap: Find the geographical position of the current location and antipodes.
  • Input: New York City (Simplified Chinese or English)
• /latlng: Find the location of a given latitude and longitude.
  • Input: 39, 112 (lat,lng)

Other parts (in plan)

• A RESTful API server
• Send the query result to the mail

Antipode: The antipode of any place on the Earth is the place that is diametrically opposite it, so a line drawn from the one to the other passes through the centre of the Earth and forms a true diameter. For example, the antipodes of New Zealand's lower North Island lie in Spain. Most of the Earth's land surfaces have ocean at their antipodes, this being a consequence of most land being in the land hemisphere.
