<#
Every once in a while, you want to be able to locate a real spot somewhere on the face of the planet. Pipeworks includes a cool cmdlert for just this purpose: Resolve-Location. Resolve-Location uses two public web services to do GeoLocation, [FreeGeoIP.net](http://freegeoip.net) and [Geocoder.us](http://geocoder.us). The first works off of IP addresses, and the second works only for US addresses. Both resolve a location to a [http://schema.org/Place](http://schema.org/Place). When you view a Place inside of a web page, it will automatically embed a map. This first example will map an IP. #> Resolve-Location 67.161.126.141 <# And this will show you where the White House is. #> Resolve-Location "1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC" |
