It seems that the Google Maps object is only usable within Nomads. We're looking into using the GeoCode functionality to verify addresses being entered in various application programs. Is there a way to do that with the current object? Is there something else we can use? Do we need to develop something ourselves?
Thanks!

There are a number of easy to use web based API's you can use for this.
For example https://positionstack.com/documentation
Do a google query and they will point you to various options. There may be a cost involved if you do a lot of calls but casual requests often are available at no charge.

Here's another option:
https://geocode.maps.co/search?q=25+Centurian+Blvd,+Markham+Ontario
(Replace spaces with + as per standard URL encoding)
Returns JSON
