Determine geocoding solution

[mwleeds]

To convert the street addresses into coordinates (geocoding) we can either
a) let Socrata do it, which may not be very accurate
b) send the requests to Google, which means limiting to 2500 per day
c) use a third party

We need to determine the accuracy of Socrata's geocoding and decide if we want to use it. I don't think there would often be 2500 new addresses overnight, so Google may work fine if we coordinate the initial dataset geocoding.

Hold that though, we just got a google nonprofit account and part of that is a free maps API plan. All of that is getting finalized next week so I'll have the details then
