Agreed, it wouldn¹t be courteous to request the data from Google multiple times for the same location. I guess what I was hoping for was a means of acquiring the lat/lng from Google if it was missing, and then turning it into a Property of the appropriate type, and then storing the property with the original record. Then subsequent attempts to map the record would use the (stored) property.
