Enable Google Maps JavaScript API and generate an API Key: http://console.developers.google.com.
Finally, add it to Location's settings (CP > Configure > Addons > Location).
Usage:
fields:
address:
type: location
display: Store Address
Output:

name: Newport Beach, CA, USA
latitude: 33.6189101
longitude: '-117.9289469'
