Regarding your very good question - yes, there is code in there for
using Google or Yahoo that could be switched to. What should really
happen is that the geocoding should use the same map interface that is
being displayed (for single positions), since there has been feedback
when using Google Maps to verify a location, but then Yahoo geocodes
to a different (and often only *slightly* different) location.
IIRC, in the Post page, the geometry is stored to a hidden field so
that this is the case (where you see the marker is where the marker
geometry is stored) - but that's not true on the back end for batch
geocoding on the Locations page.
