Auto populate address bar to plot location, or auto geocode in the backend.

I just had to import a ton of addresses from a xls file.
I populated fields with datagrab in the backend with street number, zip and location

then I had to go to each entry, fill in the address bar, and plot the location.

so my first question:
is there a way to automate this?
an import function, that geocodes addresses on the fly?

if not, it would be very handy if you could prepopulate the address fields… that would make importing entry after entry much easier!

but never the less, I am really impressed by this add-on!

OMG! I just saw the changelog, and apparently you just coded this!
A dream come true!
Thanks a lot, I will surely give this a try!

Let me know how it goes. The settings can be a challenge to get right the first time since they are so abstract and plentiful. I figure that a minor learning curve is better than missing functionality.
