As you have observed, Google maps is a bit of a beast to work with. Plus, as of midway through the year, they no longer offer geocoding as a free service?

What are the alternatives to Google maps for doing geocoding?

So a brute force approach works well with a few locations. But as the number of locations increases, it becomes progressively less efficient.

How would you change things if you needed to handle a few hundred locations?

Your Python solution to this problem is pretty concise.

Are there other platforms which might make it easier to solve this sort of problem? They might, for example, already have libraries specifically for solving one or more components of the problem.
